Abstract: This brief utilizes surveys to McKinney-Vento liaisons and interviews with district and school staff to understand what supports they provide, how those supports are accessed, and what barriers continue to exist to support students. Key takeaways include: (1) Districts provide considerable services to address immediate challenges. Longer-term supports are more likely to be addressed by referring students to outside resources; (2) Many districts rely heavily on individual staff members to connect externally to resources and internally to students, families, and staff in schools. These responsibilities often pull support providers in opposite directions; (3) Districts with less access to resources or community support often rely directly on staff members, which is likely to lead to burnout and potential risk of losing staff; and (4) Statewide, many of the barriers identified in providing and accessing supports can be attributed to systemic barriers and a lack of systemic supports.
