McKinney-Vento Liaisons

All Local Education Agencies (LEAs) are required to designate an appropriate staff member as their local homeless education liaison. This liaison is responsible for ensuring that children in homeless situations are identified as homeless, are enrolled in school, and are provided with the educational services they are eligible to receive..
 
A list of homeless liaisons at LEAs in Texas is available on the Texas Homeless Education Office website.  For additional information or if you have any questions or concerns, please contact Dr. Cynthia Hernandez, the Region 20 McKinney-Vento Consultant at 210-370-5773 or via email at [email protected].
