Program Evaluations
Program Evaluations for Migrant and Homeless Services were presented to the Board. No students attending Grandview C4 Schools have been identified as migrant in the past 7 years, however the district remains current on all rules and regulations regarding migrant students. Since the 2014-15 school year the district has served an average of 82 homeless students per year. District liaisons work with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) staff as well as the KC Area Homeless Coalition to identify and develop strategies to streamline delivery, enhance community resources for homeless students and share ideas to contain transportation costs.
