Homeless Assistance Information MSAD #60 follows the provisions of the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, which aims to minimize the educational disruptions experienced by homeless students. Under McKinney-Vento, homeless students are guaranteed the right to a free, appropriate, public education. When students become homeless, they can remain enrolled in the schools they have been attending, although they might no longer meet residency requirements. McKinney-Vento also guarantees homeless students the right to enroll in a public school even if they lack the typically required documents and immunizations. In addition, homeless students are guaranteed the transportation they need to attend school. According to McKinney-Vento, “homeless” can be defined as an individual who lacks a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence, including children and youth: Sharing housing due to loss of housing or economic hardship Living in motels, hotels, trailer parks or camping grounds due to lack of alternative adequate housing Living in emergency or transitional housing Abandoned in hospitals Awaiting foster care Having a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for, or ordinarily used as, regular sleeping accommodations Living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations Migratory students meeting the descriptions above Assistant Superintendent Susan Austin is the homeless liaison for Noble.
