THEO has developed free English and Spanish posters and brochures outlining the educational rights of students and families who are experiencing homelessness for distribution throughout Texas. These materials have space on them so that you can enter your own local contact information, and are available free of charge. Public posting of the educational rights and responsibilities of children and youth in homeless situations in all places where services may be accessed is a requirement of the McKinney-Vento statute.
To order copies of the posters and brochures, free of charge, fill out the information on the Texas Homeless Education Support Resources order form by clicking here.
