Our schools provide equal and comparable access to all students regardless of their home living situation. McKinney-Vento eligible children and youth have specific rights that include:
- Maintain attendance at the school of origin-current school for the remainder of the current school year (if this is in the child's best interest and feasible) or enroll in the neighborhood school currently residing;
- Transportation assistance if needed;
- Eligible for FREE food services;
- Appropriate support services and programs for which they are eligible, such as gifted, children with disabilities, vocational education, preschool;
- Receive academic assistance through the district's federally funded Title I program; and
- Parent or guardian involvement in school activities;
If the school district places your child(ren) in a school other than the school of origin or the school you request, you have the right to appeal that decision. The Dispute Resolution Process can be found here:
Dispute Resolution Process
As part of the process, you will need to complete the McKinney-Vento Dispute Resolution Process Petition to Appeal Form
If you have a student/child who may qualify for McKinney-Vento service or would like more information, please contact your school counselor or our district liaison Gudrun Sullivan
