McKinney-Vento Help for Displaced Children From Governor Mifflin School District

Governor Mifflin School District helps children and youth who have lost their housing stay connected to school through McKinney-Vento services, part of the district's Student Services department.

Children and youth are eligible under the McKinney-Vento Act if they have been displaced from their homes and are living in a place that is not fixed, regular, or adequate. That includes families who lack a permanent residence, who have lost their home, or who are staying with friends temporarily, in a shelter, or in a hotel. The district says it will be glad to assist your family and provide resources to help you during this time.

To start, contact Leslie Shaud at leslie.shaud@gmsd.org. Leslie Shaud is listed as Supervisor of Behavioral Mental Health on the Student Services leadership team. A button on the Student Services page links to more information about resources and your rights under the McKinney-Vento Act.

Requests for foster care and homeless student records go to Susan Vanderbent, Administrative Assistant.

The district office is at 10 South Waverly Street, Shillington PA 19607, and the phone number is 610-775-1461.

The page gives few details beyond this. It does not say exactly what services or resources a family receives, what they cost, how long the process takes, or what hours someone is available to answer, so ask when you make contact.
