McKinney-Vento Definition of “Homeless”

Subtitle B of Title VII of the McKinney-Vento Homeless

Assistance Act (Title X, Part C, of the No Child Left Behind Act)

defines “homeless” as follows:

The term “homeless children and youths”—

(A) means individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and

adequate nighttime residence (within the meaning

of section 103(a)(1)); and

(B) includes--

(i) children and youths who are sharing the housing of other persons due to

loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; are living in

motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of

alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or

transitional shelters; are abandoned in hospitals; or are awaiting foster care

placement;

(ii) children and youths who have a primary nighttime residence that is a

public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular

sleeping accommodation for human beings (within the meaning of section

103(a)(2)(C));

(iii) children and youths who are living in cars, parks, public spaces,

abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar

settings; and

(iv) migratory children (as such term is defined in section 1309 of the

Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965) who qualify as

homeless for the purpose of this subtitle because the children are living in

circumstances described in clauses (i) through (iii).

McKinney-Vento Student Rights

Campus Case Manager (CCM): CCM to provide student and parent/guardian with any information, resources and links to needed services. CCM to monitor attendance and academic performance.

Free Lunch: Students who qualify for the McKinney-Vento program receive free lunch and do not need to fill out the lunch application with Child Nutrition Services.

Clothing vouchers: If assistance with school uniforms is needed, student or parent/guardian must notify CCM, who is the designated person to submit a request for clothing voucher for McKinney-Vento students. Once the voucher is prepared, McKinney-Vento personnel will contact parent/guardian to pick up the voucher at the administration building: 1515 Cherrybrook Pasadena, TX 77502 (Special Programs Office).

School Supplies: If assistance with school supplies is needed, student or parent/guardian must notify CCM, who is the designated person to submit a request for school supplies for McKinney-Vento students. School supplies will be sent to CCM so that the supplies can be given directly to the student.

Transportation (Grades 1-12 only): If a student moves due to homelessness, they have the right to stay at their school of origin, to finish the school year. If parent/ guardian cannot provide transportation, they must notify CCM to request transportation. The McKinney-Vento Coordinator will evaluate the request for approval or disapproval. Parent/guardian will be contacted by the CCM or the McKinney-Vento Coordinator to inform on decision. The Department of Transportation will take a week or more to establish a route, please keep in mind that parent/guardian is responsible for transporting student to and from school until final notification of approval. Also, note the resignation of transportation:

Social Services: If assistance is needed with social services (vaccinations, vision, dental, or medical referrals, etc.) the student or parent/guardian must contact CCM. HIGH SCHOOLS ONLY: University Financial Assistance Letters (Senior McKinney-Vento Students): This letter only applies to students who do not live with a parent or legal guardian and are requesting financial assistance for college or university as an independent adult. These letters are usually for students who will graduate and complete a FAFSA / TAFSA application or students applying for financial aid for child care. If student is in need of a University Financial Assistance Letter he/she must notify CCM, who is the designated person to submit a request for a University Financial Assistance Letter for McKinney-Vento students that are unaccompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Tuition Assistance: If a High School McKinney-Vento student requires financial assistance for initial credit, credit recovery, or needs to pay for fees for academic exams, student or parent/guardian must notify CCM, who is the designated person to submit a request for tuition assistance for McKinney-Vento students.

Note that it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to communicate with the PISD Department of Transportation

at (713) 740-0817 before 6:00 am if the student is not going to ride the bus any day. Termination of transportation

will automatically take place if student fails to ride the bus three times without prior notification to the PISD

Transportation Department.
