• Staying in emergency or transitional shelters.
• Abandoned in hospitals or awaiting foster care placement.
• Living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, or similar settings.
• Migratory children living in the conditions described above.
Rights Under the McKinney-Vento Act
Eligible students have the right to:
• Enroll in school immediately, even without required documents like proof of residency, school records, immunization records, or birth certificates.
• Attend either their school of origin (the school they attended when permanently housed or the school they were last enrolled in) or the local school where they are currently residing.
• Receive transportation to and from their school of origin, if requested.
• Access free school meals, academic support, and other necessary services.
