Student Services That Lead With Love

*For students who qualify under the McKinney-Vento Act.

  • What is the McKinney-Vento Act?

    The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act is a federal law created to support the enrollment and education of homeless students. McKinney-Vento is intended to provide homeless students the same educational opportunities as housed students by removing as many barriers to learning for homeless students as possible.

  • Who qualifies for these services?

    Students who are qualified under McKinney Vento include those who are...

    • In a shelter (family, domestic violence, or youth shelter) or a transitional living program
    • In a motel, hotel, or weekly rate housing
    • In a house or apartment with more than one family because of economic hardship or loss
    • In temporary foster care or with an adult who is not a parent or guardian
    • In substandard housing without electricity, water, or heat
    • With friends or family because they are a runaway or unaccompanied youth

  • I'm not sure if my student qualifies, who should I contact?

    Please contact the school directly for any questions related to eligibility for support services.

and the Every Student Succeeds Act are eligible for additional support.


This includes:

  • Any child who is the subject of a juvenile dependency court petition,

Foster Youth

Foster children have many educational rights. We would be happy to discuss them with you. Of immediate concern, they may attend their school of origin through the end of the academic school year, and school placement decisions must be made in the student’s best interest. They can be enrolled immediately - regardless of fees, clothing, or records usually required for enrollment.
