MARSS 51 Homeless Federal Count
Contents
Selection Criteria
Federal reports require a count of Homeless students’ nighttime residences as well as the number of unaccompanied youth. The counts of nighttime residence and unaccompanied youth must be recorded in a spreadsheet version of the local MARSS WES report called MARSS 51 Homeless Federal Count and are reported to MDE after the end of a school year when requested via a survey of Title I directors.
In addition to the existing Homeless Student flag, additional data elements are needed for submission of this report including Homeless Nighttime Residence (select from Sheltered, Doubled, Unsheltered, and Motel) and Homeless Unaccompanied Youth. When a student becomes Homeless, a new enrollment will be entered. When Yes is selected as the student's Homeless status, the additional fields will be made available and must also be completed based on the first day the student became homeless. These data elements may be found by navigating to Start > Student Selection > State/Province-MN > MARSS Information (tab). Click on an existing enrollment to update the data in the Start Page > Student Selection > Edit Current Enrollment > Additional Information section.
The MARSS 51 Homeless Federal Count Report may be found by navigating to Start > System Reports > State > Other Reports section.
