Registration is open for the Texas Education for Homeless Children and Youth Program Summit, taking place Monday, August 29th through Wednesday, August 31st at the San Marcos Conference Center in person and virtually. Join TEA and Texas Network of Youth Services for the chance to grow your skills, network, and build connections with McKinney-Vento liaisons, education professionals, and youth-serving providers from across Texas.  

Last year’s virtual summit empowered new connections among 1,000 education professionals from over 400 school districts across Texas. This year, we are thrilled to announce a hybrid experience with the option to join us in person or virtually.
