The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (McKinney-Vento Act) ensures homeless children and youth have equal access to the same free and appropriate public education, including a public preschool education, as provided to other children and youths. It has most recently been reauthorized under the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA).
Parents should notify the Director of Student Services of any change in status regarding housing so the Quabbin Regional School District can ensure continued access to education and appropriate supports such as transportation, nutritional access and screening for eligible programs.
