REMS on the Air Podcast

Continuity of Operations for Students and Families Experiencing Homelessness

REMS TA Center Episode 12

The REMS TA Center delves into continuity of operations planning for homeless and displaced students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The REMS TA Center speaks with Kenya Hanes (National Center for Homeless Education) to explore 

  • What do schools need to consider when providing continuity of operations for their homeless and displaced students? 
  • How can schools collaborate with key state and local partners to support homeless and displaced students? 
  • How can schools make decisions with, rather than for, the homeless and displaced student population?
