All students considered homeless or in transition, which includes students who lack a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence, are afforded certain rights under the McKinney-Vento Assistance Act (Board Policy 6173):

• Immediate enrollment in the school last attended (school of origin) or the local school where you are currently staying, even if the family does not have all required enrollment documents.
• Continue to attend the school of origin, if requested by the parent or guardian, and it is in the best interest.
• Transportation to and from the student’s school of origin, at the request of the parent or guardian.
• Any special programs and services that are provided to any other students for which the student is eligible for.
• Receive the full protections and services provided under all federal and state laws, as it relates to homeless children, youth, and their families.

It is not a crime to live in one of the above situations, and schools are here to assist you and your children with enrollment and appropriate services.  This information will not be shared outside the educational entity.

If you have questions about these rights, please contact the Ontario-Montclair School District (OMSD) Homeless Liaison:
