Homeless Students

The McKinney-Vento Act guarantees all children and youth the right to an equal education, regardless of their living situation. Protection under the McKinney-Vento Act extends to those who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. Those covered by the law have the right to expedited enrollment in the appropriate school, receive free/reduced lunch, attend their school of origin including the necessary transportation and receive support from their district’s McKinney-Vento Liaison.
