Granite School District has approximately 1,400 students who are experiencing homelessness. These students are living in shelters, the homes of family members and friends, they are living in cars, in hotels, in tents, and some of them are even responsible for paying their own rent. Many of these students may fly under the radar while at school. They are good students who do their homework and get good grades. Many of them are also special education students receiving educational supports to be successful in school. These students and their families are among the most vulnerable and as such, educators require additional training in order to better understand how to best serve these students.
