Any homeless child shall be immediately admitted, even if the child or child's parent/guardian is unable to produce records normally required to establish residency. The term "homeless children and youth" is defined by the McKinney-Vento Act and specifies that it is individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. Board of Education policy 6:140, Education of Homeless Children, and its implementing administrative procedure govern the enrollment of homeless children. Homeless students shall be transported in accordance with Section 45/1-15 of the Education for Homeless Children Act.
Education Rights of Students Who Are Homeless
The school district is required to designate a person to serve as "Homeless Liaison." The liaison can help with problems related to enrollment, request transportation on behalf of the children, help obtain immunizations or immunization records and birth certificates, and help mediate disputes with the school district. They are also there to help youth without parents or guardians. If you think your family may qualify for homeless services, or your family is having financial difficulties, please contact your school principal or your school social worker. Your information will always be treated confidentially.
