McKinney-Vento (Homeless Students)

Board of Education Policy 6:140 Education of Homeless Students provides that any homeless child shall be immediately admitted, even if the child or child's parent/guardian is unable to produce records normally required for enrollment. 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.

Students eligible for services under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act shall have transportation provided to them in accordance with both state and federal law.

Homeless students will also have all school fees waived and will become automatically eligible for free or reduced cost meals provided by the District.

Families that qualify for McKinney-Vento status will be required to provide updated information regarding living situations annually. 

  • The District 15 liaison for homeless children is: Shari Lazor, EdD, Associate Superintendent, 580 North 1st Bank Drive, Palatine, IL 60067, 847-963-3000.
