McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Program
McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Program
This program is designed to meet the needs of children and youth who are homeless. A student is considered homeless if he/she lacks a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence. The homeless education program helps students enroll in school even if they lack the required paperwork. It helps them attend their original school or a school where they are currently living. The program ensures that students receive services comparable to those services received by their classmates.
