Students on the Move: Keeping uprooted kids in school

Frequent moves are hard on kids. From APM Reports, a growing body of research says children with unstable housing are more likely to struggle in school and more likely to drop out -- and millions of children in the United States face housing challenges.

This documentary focuses on two groups who often change addresses -- homeless kids and children of migrant farm workers -- and explores efforts to help these students do well in school. Tune in this Sunday, September 15 at 7 p.m. for more.
