Purpose
The McKinney-Vento Act is designed to address the challenges that homeless children and youths face in enrolling, attending, and succeeding in school. Under the McKinney-Vento Act, State Educational Agencies (SEAs) must ensure all homeless children and youth have equal access to free, appropriate public education, including a public preschool education, as other children, and youths. Homeless children and youths must have access to educational and related services needed to enable them to meet the same challenging State academic standards to which all students are held.
