Data is collected and reported to KDE annually by each district and school via Infinite Campus. Homeless student count data for the past three years is documented and presented by KDE for public information.
The data is used for federal reporting, determination of funding and publically reported on the annual School Report Card. The following resources assist homeless coordinators in the data collection process:
