McKinney-Vento Program

McKinney-Vento

At Armona Union Elementary School District, we are committed to ensuring that every child has equal access to a high-quality education, regardless of their housing situation. The McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Program provides educational rights and support services to children and youth who are experiencing homelessness or housing instability.

If your family is living in temporary housing, sharing housing due to financial hardship, staying in a shelter, motel, vehicle, campground, or another situation caused by the loss of housing or economic hardship, your child may qualify for services under the McKinney-Vento Act.

    Legislation

    The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (McKinney-Vento Act) (42 U.S.C. § 11431-11435) is federal legislation that ensures the educational rights and protections of children and youths experiencing homelessness. It requires all local educational agencies (LEAs) to ensure that homeless students have access to the same free, appropriate public education, including public preschools, as provided to other children and youths. The McKinney-Vento Act defines LEAs as public school districts, direct-funded and locally funded charter schools, and county offices of education. The McKinney-Vento Act also authorizes the funding for the federal Education for Homeless Children and Youths Program.
