McKinney-Vento Homelessness Information for Families
HSD Communications
In compliance with the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, as reauthorized in 2015 by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), Highlands School District is attempting to identify all children within the district that may be experiencing homelessness. Children who are experiencing homelessness may qualify for assistance with free school lunch, school supplies/materials, tutoring and transportation so that they can remain in their school of origin throughout the duration of their homeless episode. Please read this letter for more information.
