Homeless students face a daunting task succeeding in school when their living situation is so precarious. In Washington state, more than 27,000 kids are homeless and the numbers are growing. Should Seattle Public Schools spend $1.5 million a year to provide transportation for homeless students? We examine possible solutions to this crisis and hear from homeless families and advocates. Our studio panel includes Melinda Giovengo, executive director of YouthCare; Katara Jordan, attorney with the Children & Youth Project at Columbia Legal Services; Kaaren Andrews, principal of the Interagency Academy; and Dinah Ladd, homeless liaison for Seattle Public Schools.
