responsibility to ensure that students already living in shelter can get to school every day and have the support needed to succeed and graduate,\u201d Council Member Rita Joseph wrote in a Tuesday letter addressed to Schools Chancellor David Banks and obtained by The Post.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph, who heads the City Council Committee on Education, was among more than 20 council members who signed onto the letter. <\/p>\n<p>The push for DOE staffers in homeless shelters comes after 30 organizations sent a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"

submit plans to the state for $33 million in federal funds earmarked for homeless students by the end of May.<\/p>\n<p>More than 100,000 public school students were homeless last school year \u2014 including a third that lived in New York City shelters.<\/p>\n<p>More than half of students living in shelters miss at least one out of every 10 school days, according to data cited by Advocates for Children.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\"

<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the bus isn\u2019t coming, the staff could work with the DOE\u2019s Office of Pupil Transportation to resolve the problem,\u201d the advocates wrote in the memo to City Hall. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the child doesn\u2019t have clean clothing to wear to school, the staff could connect the family to laundry services; if the parent is unable to get a child to the bus because of competing job and childcare responsibilities, the staff could help figure out a plan.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Education officials reported that the DOE employs 117 shelter-based family assistants, who help families entering the shelter system with enrollment, transportation and attendance. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\"
