The Workload
When paperwork replaces people work.
McKinney-Vento liaisons are trained to support families in crisis, but their day is consumed by repetitive system work.
A typical liaison week involves:
The human cost of admin
When liaisons spend hours on documentation and referral tracking, they have less time for the work that actually changes outcomes: building trust with students and families.
Your staff brings judgment and care. Mira handles the routine work that slows them down.
How Mira Helps
From intake to documentation
1. Intake & Assessment
Mira gathers the family's situation through plain-language text messages. She organizes details about housing, enrollment documents, food access, and transportation so the liaison has a complete picture before the first meeting.
2. Casework & Next Steps
Mira identifies strong options for support, from district-provided school supplies to community food referrals. She prepares the action plan, reminds the family, and checks progress.
3. Documentation
Mira helps prepare case notes and records of support provided. Liaisons review and approve the prepared materials, keeping them in control while drastically reducing paperwork time.
Family Consent and Privacy
Family Thread gives Mira a secure memory of the family's situation, but the family remains in control.
