Our goal is to provide you answers and resources to help make your experience a positive one. If you ever have any questions about the services your child receives, or if you feel your child should be receiving services, please give us a call. We are always happy to help.

McKinney-Vento Act

If you or your family lives in any of the following situations, you may qualify for certain rights and protections under the federal McKinney-Vento Act.

  • In a shelter
  • In a motel or campground due to the lack of an alternative, adequate accommodation
  • In a car, park, abandoned building, or bus or train station
  • Doubled up with other people due to loss of housing or economic hardship

Eligible students have the following rights:

  • Receive a free, appropriate public education.
  • Enroll in school immediately, even if lacking documents normally required for enrollment.
  • Enroll in school and attend classes while the school gathers needed documents.
  • Enroll in the local school; or continue attending their school of origin (the school they attended when permanently housed or the school in which they were last enrolled), if that is their preference and is feasible. * If the school district believes that the school selected is not in the student’s best interest, then the district must provide the student with a written explanation of its position and inform the student of his/her right to appeal its decision.
  • Receive transportation to and from the school of origin, if requested.
  • Receive educational services comparable to those provided to other students, according to the student’s needs.

If you need further assistance, please contact our office or the National Center for Homeless Education or by calling 1(800) 308-2145.
