Chapter 4. After a Crisis: Displaced Student Data Reporting and Evaluation—Ongoing Data Sharing

After displaced students have enrolled in their new schools, LEAs and SEAs continue to have a responsibility to track them and report the data as a component of communicating about the impact of the crisis. This ongoing effort is necessary because the enrollment status of displaced students is subject to great change. A student who unexpectedly moves into temporary housing is likely to enroll and withdraw from several schools before settling into a more permanent living situation. Ongoing tracking of these students is vital to serving the child's education needs and meeting state and federal reporting requirements.
