    17 section :: 17 Education Liaisons for Homeless Children and Youth The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, as reauthorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), requires state educational agencies to ensure that homeless children and youth have equal access to the same free public education, including a public preschool education, as is provided to other children and youth. States must review and undertake steps to revise any laws, regulations, practices, or policies that may act as barriers to the enrollment, attendance, or success in school of homeless children and youth. School districts and schools may not separate homeless students from the mainstream school environment on the basis of their homelessness. Homeless students must also have access to the education and other services that they need to have an opportunity to meet the same challenging state academic achievement standards to which all students are held. It is a requirement that all school districts and public school academies have a designated appropriate staff person and a local education liaison for homeless children and youth. This person may also be the coordinator for other federal programs. This assurance guarantees that a homeless student will have a full and equal opportunity to succeed in school.

I owe my deepest gratitude to the institutions from whose collections we borrowed objects for inclusion in this exhibition. My heartfelt thanks goes out to Leslie Edwards, Robbie Terman, and Laurie Kay at the Cranbrook Archives; Roberta Frey Gilboe at the Cranbrook Art Museum; David Schneider and Tracy Irwin at the Detroit Historical Museum; Jim Joyce at the Friedman Real Estate Group; Meredith Long at Meadow Brook Hall; and Jan Durecki at the Rabbi Leo M.

Thank you also to the numerous archives, museums, historical societies and libraries throughout the state and the country who granted permission for the museum to use their photographs in the exhibition. Additionally, I would like to express my gratitude to the Flickr photographers who generously allowed the museum to include their photographs in the exhibition. It has been a pleasure to work with all of you. I wish to thank Tawny Ryan Nelb for her insightful essay that appears in this catalog.

  • High Schools 2016
    See where your school ranks! mackinac.org/CAP2016 THE MICHIGAN CONTEXT AND PERFORMANCE REPORT CARD HIGH SCHOOLS 2016 By Ben DeGrow and Ronald Klingler The Mackinac Center for Public Policy is a nonpartisan research and educational institute dedicated to improving the quality of life for all Michigan residents by promoting sound solutions to state and local policy questions. The Mackinac Center assists policymakers, scholars, businesspeople, the media and the public by providing objective analysis of Michigan issues. The goal of all Center reports, commentaries and educational programs is to equip Michigan residents and other decision makers to better evaluate policy options. The Mackinac Center for Public Policy is broadening the debate on issues that have for many years been dominated by the belief that government intervention should be the standard solution. Center publications and programs, in contrast, offer an integrated and comprehensive approach that considers: All Institutions. The Center examines the important role of voluntary associations, communities, businesses and families, as well as government. All People. Mackinac Center research recognizes the diversity of Michigan residents and treats them as individuals with unique backgrounds, circumstances and goals. All Disciplines. Center research incorporates the best understanding of economics, science, law, psychology, history and morality, moving beyond mechanical cost-benefit analysis. All Times. Center research evaluates long-term consequences, not simply short-term impact. Committed to its independence, the Mackinac Center for Public Policy neither seeks nor accepts any government funding. The Center enjoys the support of foundations, individuals and businesses that share a concern for Michigan’s future and recognize the important role of sound ideas.
