New York Thwarts Homeless Children School Disruption
New York State officials report that a Board of Regents policy allowing homeless families to select their children's schools has reduced disruption for about 2,000 children living in motels and shelters outside New York City. The rule, effective last fall, aims to stabilize schooling and improve academic performance and behavior. Westchester County and Long Island host most outside-city cases, with estimates of 16,000 to 25,000 statewide homeless youth.
