Hello Brittany @Bhammes,
Just a couple questions and suggestions for you as you make determinations. When determining a student is eligible are you providing them with a copy of their rights and services? If eligibility is denied are you providing a Letter of Determination along with the right to engage in the dispute resolution process and appeal your decision? Another first step is to make sure your student management system data entry staff are coding the student as homeless in MARSS, the Minnesota Automated Reporting Student System. If you use the McKinney-Vento.org Data tool you will want to enter the student there and keep record of supports provided. Best to you as you learn this new and rewarding role as liaison.
