McKinney Vento Act

Displaced Students/Families

The purpose of the McKinney-Vento Act is to provide educational services to homeless students which are equal to all other enrolled students, and ensure that homeless children and youth have equal opportunities to enroll in, attend, and be successful in school. Your child may qualify as homeless if you are:

  • sharing housing with others due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or similar reason.
  • living in a motel, hotel, trailer park or camping grounds due to lack of adequate living accommodations
  • guardian for a child in temporary, emergency foster care
