The McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act ensures the educational rights and protection of homeless children and youth, so that they may enroll in school, attend regularly, and be successful. Please review the letter from District 3 regarding homelessness here.

If you have questions regarding homeless status and the provision of educational services, please contact Jan Schnettler.

Here are some other helpful materials about your child's educational rights:

Community Resources

District 3 seeks to assist families with accessing resources and services. It is important to leverage every available resource – public and private; federal, state, and local; targeted and non-targeted assistance – to its fullest to serve children and youth experiencing homelessness, and support their educational success.

If you need assistance, please reach out to the liaison or the social worker at your child's school.
