ATTENDANCE RESOURCES​

​

• Homeless Support:

  •  The residency, enrollment, and attendance rights of students who are homeless are
    established under federal (McKinney-Vento Act) and Illinois (Illinois Education
    for Homeless Children Act) laws.

  • Homeless students include children sharing housing with others due to loss of
    housing, financial hardship, or similar causes, or those who lack a regular,
    fixed, and adequate nighttime residence. A homeless student is generally entitled
    to immediately enroll in the school where they enrolled when they were
    permanently housed, the school where the student was last enrolled, or the school
    in the attendance area where the homeless student currently lives. Homeless
    students cannot be required to attend a separate school for homeless students.
    For any questions or issues related to the enrollment of a homeless student, the
    parent should contact the homeless liaison official for the district. That official
    can be reached by contacting the principal's office or by reviewing the following
    district policy on residency and homeless students:

  • Additional information and a summary of the rights of homeless students can
