What families experiencing homelessness need to know:

• Children and youth who are homeless have a right to attend school

• You do not need to have a permanent address to enroll in school

• You have the right to attend the school you last attended (school of origin) if evaluated to be in your best interest

• Your child has the right to transportation service to and from their school of origin

• Homeless children and youth have the right to immediate enrollment

• Enrollment records, including past school records and health records, are not a reason for denial to immediate school enrollment

• Help securing these documents can be offered by your school personnel and the Homeless Liaison

• If enrollment disputes arise, schools must provide you with written explanation and your right to appeal

• Unaccompanied homeless youth have these same rights

For additional information and support, contact your school and/or school counselor who will also partner with the Mental Health Coordinator, Mrs. Kaitlyn Harlow-Burner.
