Homeless Education | McKinney-Vento Assistance<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The McKinney-Vento Act provides federal funding to states for the purpose of supporting district programs that serve students experiencing homelessness. As part of the law, the McKinney-Vento Act ensures immediate enrollment in the student\u2019s neighborhood school or last school attended. It also ensures students have access to the same opportunities offered to all students.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
