At Clarksville Charter School, we are honored to provide resources and support that help all families access educational and community services.

Foster & Homeless Youth
The McKinney Vento Homeless Assistance Act ensures the right of students to go to school even when they are homeless or don’t have a permanent address. This Act aims to reduce barriers that have prevented many homeless youth from enrolling, attending, and succeeding in school.
Megan Motta, our Family Resource Specialist works in collaboration with school staff and community service agencies in an effort to maximize access to various educational, social and enrichment programs which promote academic success, student achievement and social-emotional health and wellness.
Our objectives include:
- Removing barriers to academic success for McKinney Vento-eligible students by connecting families to needed school supplies.
- Educating students and parents on their educational rights.
- Promoting parent and student participation in school-related activities.
- Developing a resource list to provide families and youth who may not be familiar with community resources.
- Providing services for and connecting families to services which support academic success.
- Fostering social and emotional well-being for students and families challenged by homelessness or low-income barriers.
