McKinney-Vento Act (Homeless Liaison)

Pursuant to the McKinney-Vento Act, all school districts must have in place a liaison for homeless students and youth.

Golf School District 67, we ensures that:

  • Homeless students and youth are sensitively identified by school personnel, whether currently enrolled or not yet attending and, if appropriate, aid such students or youth in accessing the appropriate school.

  • Homeless students and youth have a full opportunity to succeed and have full access to educational services and other services as appropriate.

  • Families of homeless students and youth are informed about the District’s educational services and opportunities and are given meaningful chances to participate in their student’s education.

  • Public notice of the educational rights of homeless students and youth is disseminated at locations where homeless families and students are served.

  • Families have the right to access dispute procedures under the law.
