LEGAL PROTECTION / SCHOOL TRANSPORATION

McKinney – Vento Act (for Homeless School Age Children)

See your child’s school counselor for enrollment and further information.

Under the McKinney-Vento Act, State educational agencies (SEAs) must ensure that each homeless child and youth has equal access to the same free, appropriate public education, including a public preschool education, as other children and youths. Homeless children and youths must have access to the educational and related services that they need to enable them to meet the same challenging State academic standards to which all students are held. In addition, homeless students may not be separated from the mainstream school environment.
