Homeless Services (McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Act)

  • 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 law:

    • Immediate enrollment in the school last attended (school of origin) or the local school where the student is currently staying, even if you do not have all the documents normally required for enrollment.
    • Continue to attend the school of origin, if requested by you, and it is in the best interest.
    • Transportation to and from the student’s school of origin, the same special programs and services, if needed, as provided to all other children, including free meals and Title I.
    • Receive 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.

    Please call your child’s school and ask to speak to the Outreach Consultant or Principal for assistance with this process. You may also call OMSD Health & Wellness Services directly at 909-418-6398, or click this link to find out if you qualify for services:
