[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just think Petula's article could focus more on the law around how to make this a seamless experience for these children, and where that's not happening.  The child ending up in the principal's office to get sent  home means a lot of stop checks along the way failed.  That's what she should be looking at instead of getting all breathless.

I am presuming that once we have these 8 family shelters in DC there will be someone who checks the kids going out the door to see that they are prepared and meet school requirements?  I hope that's where some of the massive amount of dollars this initiative will cost will go.[/quote]

No way will door checks for uniforms by a city worker happen. [/quote]

My understanding is we are doing these fully staffed intimate settings so that the children thrive. So this should be part of the duties.[/quote]

The kids have parents and how is a worker supposed to keep up with the uniform policy for the dozens of schools those kids will attend.

The workers should see that kids have clothes and connect those who don't with the school social worker or homeless coordinator or a private group. They should also make sure that there are sufficient working laundry machines for use by residents. [/quote]

If there are ten kids in the home and five go to uniformed schools, you call the school and ask the policy. Seriously?[/quote]
