federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act broadly defines homelessness in an effort to provide protections and supports for students living in a variety of unstable housing situations. This ensures school stability and continued enrollment at a time when a student’s nighttime residence may be constantly changing. In Washington, the number of children and youth experiencing homelessness has increased since 2001 when the McKinney-Vento Act began requiring all school districts to annually report the number of students experiencing homelessness who are enrolled in schools.  \nIn 2014, the Washington State Legislature passed Senate Bill 6074, which aims to improve educational outcomes for children and youth experiencing homelessness by bolstering student homelessness identification and establishing further data reporting requirements. RCW 28A.300.540 requires the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to report this data every other year.  \nBACKGROUND  \nThe National Center for H","cbCairCETDb1u99S","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairCETDb1u99S","pdf",280226,16,"English","# Executive Summary\n# Background\n## Legislation\n# Update Status\n## Enrollment\n# Student Outcomes\n# Conclusion and Next Steps\n# References\n# Legal Notice","[{\"question\":\"What law requires Washington OSPI to report data on student homelessness?\",\"answer\":\"RCW 28A.300.540 requires the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to report student homelessness data to the Governor and the Legislature every other year starting January 10, 2015.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the federal McKinney-Vento Act define “homeless children and youths”?\",\"answer\":\"It includes individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence, and it covers situations such as sharing housing due to loss or economic hardship, living in motels or shelters, or living in places not designed for regular sleeping accommodations.\"},{\"question\":\"Which student outcomes does the report address?\",\"answer\":\"The report covers graduation rates, homelessness-related attendance and truancy, and suspensions and expulsions, presented by student group and school year using multiple figures.\"}]","REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE - Data on Students Experiencing Homelessness - 2025 | PDF",1792064444]
