Who Counts as a “Homeless” Student?

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act defines as homeless anyone who is:

• Sharing with another family or friend (doubled up)
• Staying in a shelter or transitional housing
• Temporarily living in a motel or hotel
• Living in a car, park, campground, abandoned building, or other inadequate accommodations
• Children that are unaccompanied

Youth Have Rights to:

• Immediate Enrollment 
• Rights to remain in school of origin/feeder school
• Transportation Support
• Free and Reduced Lunch
• Homeless Liaison Support
• Removal of Barriers to FAPE (Free Appropriate Public Education)
• Enrollment and Extra Curricular Activities

Each and every one of our students is tremendously important to us.
