SUBJECT: |
Student Data Collection for
Homeless Children and Youth |
The purpose of the
memorandum is to finalize the request for school division data related to
homeless children and youth during the 2004-05 school year that was initially
announced in Superintendents Memo 239, dated December 3, 2004. This
information is required by the U. S. Department of Education and is similar in
format to the data request for 2003-04.
Reporting
Requirements
School divisions
that are not subgrantees receiving direct McKinney-Vento funding under Project
HOPE-Virginia should complete the three-page
form. Note that shaded boxes reflect information
already being reported to the Virginia Department of Education. This
information need not be duplicated and will be accessed from your student
record collection submission. Subgrantees must submit the more detailed
form as part of their annual report.
The
finalized report forms (based on additional changes received in April 2005) are
attached. A copy of the appropriate form and a technical assistance guide is
being sent directly to the local homeless education liaison in each school
division.
Please
complete the appropriate form for your school division. The completed form may
be mailed, faxed, or e-mailed to Project HOPE-VA.
In order
to adhere to the U. S. Department of Education submission date for states,
please submit your completed form no later than September 1, 2005, to Project HOPE-VA. If you have any
questions, please contact:
