Under the federal McKinney-Vento Act, as reauthorized by the Every Student Succeeds Act
(ESSA), McKinney-Vento liaisons are required to participate in professional development so that they
can better identify and meet the needs of children and youth experiencing homelessness (42 U.S.C. 搂搂
11432[f][6] & [g][6][A][ix]). The New York State Educat ion Department (两性视频 or 鈥渢he
Department鈥) requires that the McKinney-Vento liaison from each local educational agency (LEA)[1]
attend at least one of the professional development sessions (workshop or onsite regional training or
webinar) offered by the Department鈥檚 technical assistance center, NYS-TEACHS, to comply with the
federal training requirement.

Federal law also now requires that McKinney-Vento liaisons ensure that LEA personnel
providing McKinney-Vento services (e.g., superintendents, registrars, transportation directors, CSE
chairs, school counselors, school social workers, principals, school attorneys, and Title I directors,
teachers) receive professional development. Liaisons can do this by either providing the training to staff
themselves or by ensuring that LEA staff participate in one of the trainings offered by NYS-TEACHS.

travel-related expenses and staff replacement costs related to your attendance at one of the
