McKinney Vento Act
The McKinney-Vento Act is a federal law that makes sure children and youth who do not have
permanent housing can go to school and preschool. It gives children and youth rights to enroll
in school, stay in school, get transportation and do well in school.
If you need help enrolling your child(ren) or yourself in school, there are people who can help
you. You can contact:

school district member whose job it is to help you,
