Information for Parents of School-Age Youth

If your family lives in any of the following situations:

• Doubled-up with other people
• Homeless Shelter
• Hotel/Motel or campground
• Car, park, empty building, bus or train station

Your eligible children have the right to:

• Receive a free, appropriate public education.
• Enroll in school immediately, even if lacking documents normally required for enrollment.
• Enroll in school and attend classes while the school gathers needed documents.
• Enroll in the local school or continue attending their school of origin. 
• Receive transportation to and from the school of origin, if requested.
• Receive educational services comparable to those provided to other students, according to the student's needs.

IF YOU BELIEVE your children may be eligible, contact the local liaison listed below to find out what services and supports may be available. There also may be supports available for your preschool-age children.

IF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BELIEVES that the school you selected is not in the best interest of your children, the district must provide you with a written explanation of its position and inform you of your right to appeal its decision.
