Children who are experiencing homelessness have the right to attend school.

You do not have to have a permanent address to enroll in school.

Your child has the right to attend the last school attended before becoming homeless (called "school of origin"), if determined to be in your child's best interest.

Your child has a right to transportation to and from their school of origin.

Children who are homeless have the right to immediately enroll in school.

Lack of enrollment documents, health records and past school records are not barriers to immediate school enrollment.

School Personnel and the Homeless Liaison will assist you in getting these documents.

If there are any disputes about enrollment, you must be provided with written explanation and a right to appeal.

Unaccompanied youth have these same rights.
