About this resource

Who can use this

• Under the McKinney-Vento Act, students or families facing homelessness—such as those living in shelters, vehicles, or temporarily with others—may be entitled to specific rights and protections. Eligible students can receive a free public education, enroll immediately in school without required documents, and may continue at their school of origin if preferred. If a school district deems a chosen school not in the student's best interest, they must provide a written explanation and inform the student of their right to appeal. Additionally, students can request transportation to their school of origin and receive educational services tailored to their needs. For more information on available services and supports, please contact Chimacum Special Services or visit our main campus.
