| Abstract: | This brief is directed towards relief agencies. These agencies play a critical role in connecting families, children, and youth who have been displaced by disasters to needed services, including enabling children and youth to continue their education. The brief: (1) explains the importance of school attendance for children and youth who have lost their homes due to a disaster; (2) provides an overview of the federal law that guarantees educational rights of children and youth experiencing homelessness; (3) offers strategies for increasing coordination and collaboration between relief agencies and local educational agencies (LEAs) and school districts before a disaster occurs, during a disaster, and after a disaster; and (4) lists resources to assist relief agencies in supporting families displaced by disasters. |
