How Schools Help Children Experiencing Homelessness with Irene and Ryan
Greenville County Public Schools defines homelessness as "a lack of permanent housing resulting from extreme poverty, or, in the case of unaccompanied youth, the lack of a safe and stable living environment."
Irene is the Homeless Education Liaison & McKinney-Vento Project Coordinator with Greenville County Schools. On this episode, she sits down with Ryan and discusses in-depth the resources provided for children experiencing homelessness in the school district, including strategies for identifying this population and offering resources to help these students be successful.
When a child or teen is experiencing homelessness, getting good grades and paying attention in class is not their first priority. However, school in general can be a great asset to these students because it can be a constant their life.
It is Irene's heart that students experiencing homelessness within the Greenville County School District are identified and cared for to the best of everyone's ability.
Yet, there are many barriers for these students to overcome.
