Today our guest is Cyndi Tercero-Sandoval the Family and Community Engagement Manager at the Phoenix Union High School District. We talk with Cyndi about Participatory Budgeting, a way to empower students and give them a voice in how the budget is spent. Cyndi explained the intentional process that Phoenix Union has undertaken to implement participatory budgeting, which has started to increase student engagement and connection in some really creative ways. This process has not only increased student voice in the budgeting process, but also in school improvement, safety, and curriculum decisions throughout the district.

As most school administrators know, the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act requires districts to immediately enroll students who are experiencing homelessness to ensure educational continuity and minimize disruption to learning. But what happens when a district is not sure whether a student meets the definition of homelessness? And what are the next steps if the family doesn't agree about which school the student should attend? Whose obligation is transportation and does it matter how far away the school is located? Join Christina, Lisa, and Miriam, as we discuss the history and basics of McKinney-Vento and touch upon some of the challenges that schools face in implementing this important federal law.
