If you or your family lives in any
of the following situations:
• In a homeless shelter
• In a hotel or motel
• In a campground, RV, or
building that is not a home
• Doubled up with friends or
relatives because you cannot
find or afford housing
Then you and your family
may have certain rights or
protections under the
McKinney-Vento Homeless
Education Assistance Act.
Students, you have the right to:
• Go to school, no matter where you live or
how long you have lived there. You have the
right to attend classes even if you don't have
immunization records or a birth certificate.
You must be given access to the same public
education provided to other children.
• Enroll in a school without giving a
permanent address. Schools cannot require
proof of residency that might prevent or delay
school enrollment.
• Enroll in school even if you are not living
with a parent or guardian. Schools cannot
require you to have a parent or guardian to
sign paperwork if you are not living with them.
• Continue in the school you attended before
you became homeless or the school you last
attended.
• Receive transportation to and from school
if you or a guardian request transportation.
• Participate in the same special programs
and services as provided to all other students,
including athletics and other extra-curricular
activities.
• You have the right to file a dispute if you
disagree with any decision about your
education.
For help with school, do the following:
• Contact the district’s liaison (see phone
number below) for help enrolling in a
new school or continuing at the school
you are now attending. The liaison can
also make referrals.
• Contact the local homeless shelter and
social services office for help with
housing, medical care, food, and other
support.
• Contact the school and provide any
information you think will assist in
helping the student to adjust to difficult
circumstances. Needs, such as
transportation, free school meals,
supplies, and counseling services, should
be addressed.
