 ABSTRACT

Duplin County School System is requesting $30,000 per year as a supplementary allotment to meet the
physical, emotional, and academic needs of homeless students throughout the county. Although academics
are a major component within our system, it is evident that academic achievement cannot be obtained unless
the basic needs of our students are being met. Therefore, within our school system is a top priority to provide
a safe and secure environment that is conducive to the academic success of all students. For many children
identified under the McKinney-Vento Act, school becomes their safe haven. As a result, Duplin County
Schools must take responsibility of providing the necessary support to ensure that the needs of these students
are being met while also providing an environment that makes them feel needed and successful. In essence,
regardless of family hardships, Duplin County Schools strive to keep all students within their school of origin
where their surrounding are safe and dependable.
A sub-grant will be a financial benefit that will enable the school system to provide additional services to
students identified under the McKinney Vento Act. The circumstances of each student served will be noted and
addressed. All monies received from this grant will be used to subsidize the resources of the family and Duplin
County Schools. McKinney-Vento assistance will only be used when title 1, Migrant monies, or any other
programs currently in place cannot meet accommodations based on specific guidelines.
