Hello, and thank you for the opportunity to share the incredible work of our community school nestled in the heart of California's orange belt. In our rural setting, where approximately 100% of our 4200 learners are eligible for free and reduced lunch, we've become more than just a school – we're a lifeline for our predominantly immigrant farm-working families. Recognizing that health, mental health, and basic needs are daily struggles, our community school aims to make a meaningful impact. We've forged partnerships to provide integrated services that go beyond academics. From on-site mental health to dedicated case management services, we address our families' unique challenges. In this rural landscape, our commitment extends to approximately 480 homeless youth. We've established a support system that meets their educational needs and addresses their fundamental challenges. We create a safety net for families through collaborative efforts, providing education and a foundation for well-being. By tackling these challenges head-on, our work will support more families, creating a brighter future for everyone. Thank you for being a vital part of our community school journey!

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (McKinney-Vento Act) (42 United States Code § 11431-11435) is federal legislation that ensures the educational rights and protections of children and youth experiencing homelessness. It requires all local educational agencies (LEAs) to ensure that homeless students have access to the same free, appropriate public education, including public preschools, as provided to other children and youth. The McKinney-Vento Act defines LEAs as public school districts, direct-funded and locally funded charter schools, and county offices of education. The McKinney-Vento Act also authorizes the funding for the federal Education for Homeless Children and Youth Program.

This includes in-person instruction this spring, and summer learning and enrichment programs that begin in the coming months.

ARP-HCY Fund Assurances and Quarterly Report Submission Tool
This includes the ARP-HCY II Assurances and Quarterly Reports. In order for an LEA to receive an allocation, it must submit the ARP-HCY II Assurances.
