Education of Homeless Children
Education of Homeless Children
Each child of a homeless individual and each homeless youth has equal access to the same free, appropriate public education, as provided to other children and youth, including a public pre-school education. A “homeless child” is defined as provided in the McKinney Homeless Assistance Act and State Law. The superintendent shall act as or appoint a Liaison for Homeless Children to coordinate this policy’s implementation. The Homeless Liaison at Germantown Elementary School District #60 is Michelle Finan.
A homeless child may attend the district school that the child attended when permanently housed or in which the child was last enrolled. A homeless child living in any district school’s attendance area may attend that school.
If at any time a family is homeless, contact Michelle Finan, liaison, for additional resources and services.
