Penny Benton is the McKinney-Vento Homeless Liaison for DeKalb County schools. The McKinney-Vento Act provides rights and services to children and youth experiencing homelessness, which includes those who are: sharing the housing of others due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; staying in motels or campgrounds due to the lack of an adequate alternative; staying in shelters or transitional housing; or sleeping in cars, parks, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, or similar settings.
The Act was signed by Ronald Reagan in 1987 and is a United States federal law that provides federal money for homeless shelter programs. The legislation has been amended several times since it was first written and enacted. The Act is named after two politicians, Stewart McKinney and Bruce Vento. Under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, every educational agency is required to designate a liaison for homeless children.

It’s been a year of firsts for the Ireland rugby team. They’ve just become the first Irish squad to tour New Zealand. They are about to also become the first Irish team to visit Fiji. To this day, they remain the last.
The too-big-to-fail theory maintains that certain institutions, often financial, are so interconnected with others that their failure would literally result in the destruction of the overall economic system. These institutions should, therefore, be supported by government.
The phrase originated with Congressman Stewart McKinney, R-Connecticut, in 1984 when he was discussing the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.âs intervention in the failure of Continental Illinois, at one time the seventh-largest bank in the U.S. Most of us werenât familiar with the phrase until 2007-08, during the global financial crisis.
