The East Baton Rouge Parish School System serves students in transition and works to ensure that homeless children and youth are still able to enroll and succeed in school.  

The Office of Students in Transition exists to provide resources and services for homeless individuals residing in any temporary living arrangements because of lack of fixed, regular, or adequate residency. 

As indicated by the McKinney-Vento Act, we will foster a climate wherein each homeless individual is positively received and neither stigmatized nor isolated by:

• Minimizing barriers that prohibit an individual’s maximum potential intellectually, economically, socially, culturally, and physically;

• Serving as advocates for the issues and rights of homeless individuals;

• Promoting sensitivity among the EBRPSS and within its programs, businesses, organizations, and community groups to the issues and specific needs of homeless individuals;

• Facilitating the coordination of services within the district and the community for the benefit of homeless individuals; and

• Ensuring compliance with all applicable regulations.
