ESC Region 19 McKinney-Vento Coalition

McKinney-Vento Education

  • The McKinney-Vento Act defines homeless children lacking a fixed, regular and adequate residence.

     

    Fixed: Stationary, permanent, not subject to change

    Regular: Used on a regular and nightly basis

    Adequate: Meets both physical and psychological needs typically met in a home environment.

     

    If a child is lacking any of the above mentioned, they may be able to qualify for services.

     

  • Mission & Vision 

    A continuous process of engaging students and families receiving McKinney-Vento services with supplemental resources and strong support networks to ensure achievement. Serving and advocating for students and families in our region experiencing homelessness to overcome any barriers that are obstructing the opportunity for an equitable, meaningful education.
