Children and youth in homeless situations have the right to:

• Stay in their school-of-origin; which is the school attended when last permanently housed or the school in which the student was last enrolled

• Enroll in any school which non homeless students living in the attendance area are eligible to attend

• Enroll in a new school without immunization, proof of residential status, school records, proof of guardianship or other documents

• Receive transportation services to their school of origin, to the extent feasible

• Receive services (including transportation, preschool, meals, special education) comparable to those provided to other students

• Have their enrollment disputes expeditiously addressed by the homeless district liaison and have the right to attend their school during the dispute resolution process
