Creating position of homeless education coordinator in counties designated by state board as urban county
SB 101 creates a new position for a "homeless education coordinator" in West Virginia counties designated as "urban" by the state board. This coordinator will directly assist homeless students and families in accessing school services and ensuring consistent attendance. The bill requires counties with this position to implement support systems for homeless students, including helping them enroll, stay in school, and address barriers like transportation or housing instability. The policy change specifically targets homeless students in designated urban counties, focusing on practical support rather than altering general attendance rules.
