NY: For New York City’s Homeless Children, Getting to School Is the Hard Part
The New York Times – October 10, 2016
Family workers carrying caseloads of 256 children at a time. A girl who had transferred to four different schools, one of them twice, by age 11. Attendance reports from multiple agencies, but with none held responsible for making sure that students actually went to school. These are some of the findings in a report on the obstacles faced by homeless children in New York schools that released by the city’s Independent Budget Office on Tuesday.
