Study showcases latest insights related to McKinney-Vento programs in the U.S.
August 20, 2024 (Lynnwood, Wash.) – Pathwise, a leader in operational and compliance software for the education sector, today announced that among many surprising insights from the 2024 Nationwide McKinney-Vento Study, this year’s data shows that although the number of McKinney-Vento students increased year-over-year for 75% of respondent’s districts, of those that received ARP funding, 10% will be unable to obligate all of their funds by the September 2024 deadline.
The study, now in its second year, was designed to fill a void in national data related to the support of McKinney-Vento eligible students and to showcase the challenges, successes, and strategies districts are employing to support an increasing population of students experiencing homelessness. It incorporates factors such as district enrollment, location (state), and the number of McKinney-Vento students served annually.
The study results will be shared during a joint webinar with education news publisher District Administration. The webinar, entitled “Insights from Around the Nation: The New Normal for McKinney-Vento Student Support,” will highlight year-over-year trends, data-based perspectives, and new insights. It will also outline how McKinney-Vento liaisons across the country are navigating the complexities of identifying and supporting their at-risk students. The final report will be made available following the webinar.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with District Administration to share insights from our latest study. Education professionals across the country are facing new and complex challenges in supporting these at-risk students due to the cessation of ARP funding this year. We’re hopeful the ideas, approaches, and perspectives shared by our survey respondents will provide liaisons with creative solutions to continue to support this extremely vulnerable student population.”
