    As parents raising children while trying to manage the difficulties of homelessness, the last thing you want to worry about is your children’s education. The McKinney-Vento act was created to give your children rights as you navigate your way to a permanent housing situation. Your children rights include the following:

    • The right to enroll immediately, even if you do not have all the required paperwork.
    • The right to school placement at the school that is in your best interest.
    • The right to other services such as fees for breakfast and lunch provided by the school, as well as fees for textbooks, should be waived for the children.
    • The right to appeal decisions regarding enrollment and services.
    • The right to attend school and school activities without the fear of being singled out.
