Student homelessness hits another record high
NEW YORK
A growing number of students don't have homes to return to once classes are out.
Approximately 1.3 million students enrolled in U.S. public preschools, elementary schools, middle schools and high schools schools were homeless during the 2012-13 school year.
That's up 8% from the prior year, and the highest number on record, according to the National Center for Homeless Education, funded by the Department of Education.
