Qs How can displaced students enroll in school when they don’t
© have a fixed address?

The McKinney-Vento Act states that homeless students can enroll in
school immediately, without a fixed address and without an
documents proving their address. The law defines homeless
lacking a “fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence.

\) How can displaced students enroll in and begin attending
© school, when they don’t have school records?

The McKinney-Vento Act also states that homeless students can
enroll in school immediately, without any school records. The new
school must contact prior schools to obtain those records. If records
are not available, the new school can administer basic assessments,
interview the student and parents, and contact previous teachers
and counselors to determine the appropriate classes and services for
the student.

Qs How can displaced students enroll in school when they don’t
° have immunization or other health records?

Again, the McKinney-Vento Act states
that homeless students can enroll in
and begin attending school

those records, or, if necessary, to obtain
immunizations. Since most school-aged
children displaced by disasters were attending school prior to the
disaster, it is safe to assume that they have already been
immunized in accordance with the requirements of their home state.

Relief agencies can help! Support immediate
enrollment by: helping schools and parents obtain
schoo! and medical records; assisting with any
necessary immunizations; providing schools with
documentation of any immunizations you provide; and
providing schools with information when immunizations
are unnecessary (for example, sharing CDC and Health
Department bulletins and information about
what relief agencies do to prevent outbreaks and
promote good health in their shelters}

\) Will displaced students have to change schools every time
0 they move?

Displaced families tend to move frequently. Changing schools with
each move would damage students’ emotional security and academic
success. Generally, it takes students 4 to 6 months to recover from a
change in school. For this reason, the McKinney-Vento Act states
that homeless students can continue attending the same school even
if they move out of that school’s attendance area. This school is
called their “school of origin,” and they can remain there the entire
time they are homeless. When students find permanent housing,
they can finish the school year in their school of origin. The only
limit on this important right is that remaining in the school of origin
must be in the student's best interest.

Schools, families, and relief agencies must work together to make
the school of origin provision a success. To be able to make good
decisions about school placement, schools and families need as much
advance information as possible about issues such as openings and
closures of shelters and temporary trailers, limits on vouchers for
motels and temporary apartments, and the most likely locations of
long-term housing.

Q Sharing Tip. @

E To share information with schools while still complying

? with the Privacy Act and federal regulations, many shelters
have incorporated a release of information into their stan
dard intake documentation to allow shelter staff to share
with local liaisons the names and ages of school-aged chil
dren and youth staying in the shelter or receiving other
assistance.

Support!

Schools provide critical mental health and medical support to
students and families. Help schools be more effective by sharing
your expertise in supporting disaster victims, providing sensitivity
trainings to school mental health teams, and supporting the school
staff as they cope with their own feelings of stress and grief.

@ Support Tip Q

: Families who are staying with family or friends in the wake
: Of a disaster face specific stressors. Valued relationships can
! become taxed or even destroyed in the stress of squeezing
: two or three families into a space designed for one, coping
with hostile landlords, and trying to make financial ends
meet. Relief agencies can provide important mental health
support to these families and their hosts to prolong the

H living arrangement and prevent the influx of even more

: families into shelters.

Coordinate!

Inform schools immediately regarding shelter and trailer closures,
expiration of hotel and apartment vouchers, and other changes in

temporary housing. To enroll students in the right school and keep
them there, schools need as much advance information as possible.
To the extent feasible, coordinate closures and moves with the
schools considering issues of transportation, the school calendar
and important school events like final exams and standardized
testing.

g Coordination Tip Q

: Designate one local staff member to be your agency's

H homeless education fiaison to develop relationships with
i homeless education staff prior to emergencies; maintain

? contact with the schools during emergencies; and get to
¢ know the law, the local schools, local liaisons, enrollment
H Procedures, and schoo! administrators.

Cooperate!

Work with local liaisons to make school enrollment and attendance
as streamlined as possible.

g Cooperation Tip g

i Allow the schoo! district to conduct enrollment onsite at
your agency, or have your staff members complete

: school enrollment documents as part of your standard
intake process and forward them to the local liaison.
Schools may also want to access your facilities to provide

Qs How can unaccompanied youth enroll in school without a
° parent or guardian?

Schools have developed different strategies to enroll unaccompanied
youth, including allowing them to enroll themselves, having the
local liaison enroll them, allowing non-guardian adult caregivers to
enroll them, or allowing appropriate staff from other agencies
(shelters, child welfare, etc.) to enroll the students. Whatever the
method, youth on their own have the right to enroll in school
immediately. More information about the rights of unaccompanied
youth and suggestions on how to support them are available at
www.serve.org/nche/ibt/sc_youth.php.

“we have enrolled two high school children that also arrived
on the evacuee plane. Their vother could only find room in
an evacuating car for herself. She instructed these children to
hbor's home. Without the MeKinney-Vento

Act, it would have been impossible for them to

go to a nei

register in school.”

Rutherford, TN - Local Liaison

> How can we connect very young children
° with school?

The McKinney-Vento Act requires schools to
enroll homeless children in public preschool
programs, including Head Start. Head Start
provides medical and mental health services
to children and their families, and many Head
Start agencies have special procedures and
programs to facilitate the enrollment of
homeless families. The local school or mental
health agency should have information about
available preschool programs. You can also
visit www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/hsb/hsweb/

Most communities also have programs for infants and toddlers who
are too young for preschool. For example, Part C of the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act (“Part C”) is a program that serves
children age 0 to 3 who have or are at risk for developmental delays,
particularly those in homeless situations. Part C provides a broad
spectrum of medical and mental health services for the entire
family. Relief agence n help their clients receive these servic
by inviting the local Part C team into shelt trailers, and motels
to do child development screenings. To find out about Part C
resources in a community, contact the local school or the state Part
C Coordinator (contact information is available at

www .nectac.org/contact/ptccoord.asp).

Qs Can special needs students also be enrolled in school
° immediately?

Yes. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which
is the federal law governing special educati
schools to identify, enroll, and serve children with special nes
homeless situations. More information is available at
www.serve.org/nche/ibt/sc_spec_ed.php.

Qs Do these rules apply to displaced children who are staying
° temporarily with family or friends?

Yes. In addition to children and youth living in shelters, the
McKinney-Vento Act also applies specifically to children and youth
who are staying temporarily with family or friends due to a lack of
housing. Although they are often invisible to other agencies, the
schools have years of experience in finding, serving, and supporting
these children and families.

Qs: Do these rules apply to displaced children in other living
° situations?

Yes. The McKinney-Vento Act also applies specifically to children
and youth who are staying in motels, campgrounds, temporary or
inadequate trailers, and public spaces like parks or bus stations due
to a lack of housing.

) Do these rules apply to young people who have been
© separated from their parents?

Yes. Youth living in homeless situations without a parent or
guardian are covered by the McKinney-Vento Act, regardless of the
reason for the family’s separation. Unaccompanied youth have the
right to enroll in school immediately, without the signature of a
parent or guardian

How Can Relief Agencies Help

Teach!

Relief agencies have a unique opportunity to share their knowledge
of and experience with serving families, youth, and schools.

For serving families and youth:

* Train your staff about the McKinney-Vento Act and share related
information with the parents and youth you serve.

e Help parents understand why it’s important that their children
return to school as soon as possible.

(continued on the nest page)

Q Teaching Tips )

e Does your agency design the containers for the
food and water you distribute? If so, how about
mentioning school on the wrapper? For example
“Did you know your children can
attend school in this community
right now, even without school
records or a legal address? Ask an
aid worker for more information.”

Posters, flyers, and word of mouth
are great ways to share information.
Posters and other resources are
available at no charge at

How Can Relief Agencies Help?

Plan for the Future!

Many displaced students and families will not return home, and the
local schools will be educating and serving these families for months
and years to come. Many of them will experience homelessness
again as many relief agency services end and they struggle to get
back on their feet. Before closing down your agency's operations, and
as part of your recovery efforts, give the schools, families, and youth
achance to benefit from your knowledge and experience as they
confront short- and long-term planning issues (9 months, 1 year, 3
years, 5 years out).

Team up with schools for a more
effective recovery effort.

How Can Relief Agencies Hel:

In recent interviews, staff from relief agencies noted that pre-
existing relationships in affected communities were the keys to
efficient and effective services during and after disasters.
Establishing working relationships, memoranda of understanding,
and communication protocols before a dis strikes are essential
response and recovery strategies. Agencies can use these same
strategies to ensure that displaced children are connected quickly
with school

Communicate!

Schools and relief agencies agree that inadequate communication
between the agencies and the schools is a significant barrier to
getting displaced students into school and keeping them there.
Communicating early and often will help ease everyone's burden, as
schools, agencies, and displaced families help each other to meet the
needs.

@ Communication Tips Q

* On the state and local level, make schools an
integral part of disaster planning prior to
emergencies, emergency response team and
weekly update meetings during emergencies, and
long-term recovery planning after emergencies

Before the next hurricane season, have regional
agency officers meet with the State Coordinators for
Homeless Education in their regions (by phone or in
person}, and local agency officers with local liaisons
Contact information for State Coordinators is

Since communication during a disaster can be
difficult, establish a system through which local
liaisons and your agency can reach each other

reliably and quickly. q

Hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, mudslides, fires, earthquakes,
terrorism, and school lock-downs: A wide variety of disasters can
impact children and families and create an urgent need for
comprehensive support systems. This handbook is designed to
help relief agency staff members and volunteers access
comprehensive support in the weeks and months following a
disaster.

Mental health experts consider returning to school to be a critical
step in the healing process for children and youth whose lives
have been disrupted by disasters. Going to school helps these
students find the structure, normalcy, and routine that is
essential to their health and well-being.

Fortunately, federal law (The McKinney-Vento Homeless
Assistance Act) protects the educational rights of students
experiencing homelessness. It provides grants and legal
protections so children and youth in homeless situations can
enroll in, attend, and succeed in school and preschool programs
This law generally covers students who are displaced by
disasters or emergencies
