HOMELESS EDUCATION INFORMATION
All children have a right to a free, appropriate education. The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (Public Law 107-110) effective July 1, 2002, requires that homeless children:

Be enrolled immediately in school, even if lacking documentation normally required for enrollment such as immunization or other health records, previous academic records, birth certificates, proof of residence, or proof of guardianship.
Have a choice in where to enroll: their school of origin or the local school for their current residence.
Have access to services comparable to those that housed students receive, including Title 1, Part A, services.
