McKinney-Vento Information
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act ensures the educational rights and protection of homeless children and youth, so that they may enroll in school, attend regularly, and be successful. Unit 5 is committed to supporting all of our students and ensuring that every student has access to the full range of educational experiences and resources that our district is proud to provide. Please review Unit 5's District Policy on homelessness.
Unit 5 recognizes that some students and families may need additional support provided outside of the classroom.
