Support for homeless students is not part of the basic education covered by McCleary. These students will continue to be left behind. We need more support services for those experiencing homelessness. #stlivewire

Seattle has a lot of resources, but it has a lot of really complex challenges to overcome. #stlivewire

[LiveWire @STLiveWireEvent]

How do you keep expectations high for homeless students? You believe in them. And work to get them resources to help them be successful and take ownership for their success. #stlivewire

[LiveWire @STLiveWireEvent]

"Wrap-around services" a frequently used phrase tonight. Important to identify what that means as we look at solutions for homelessness. #stlivewire

?/comment from an attendee w/o Twitter sitting nearby: Could we try having regular readers read children's books outside in at-risk neighborhoods for one month every day 15 minutes a day? (He has homework ready to offer.) #STLiveWire

When we are talking about student homelessness, we are talking about family homelessness. There are some promising solutions, but we still have a lot of work to do.--Katara Jordan #stlivewire

State level: continue funding for Homeless Stability. Law does talk about collaboration, but it has to have resources for it to be concrete versus symbolic. #stlivewire
