What Rights Do Students Have?

Students who do not have a fixed, regular, and adequate overnight residence have the right to:

  • Enroll in and attend school, no matter where they live or how long they have lived there.
  • Continue in the last school attended before experiencing loss of housing, or, if in the best interest of the student, transfer to the school serving their current residence.
  • Receive transportation assistance to the school of origin, if feasible.
  • Enroll in school, even if proof of a permanent address cannot be provided.
  • Enroll in and attend school while the school arranges for the transfer of a birth certificate, or school and immunization records.
  • Enroll in and attend school while a dispute over enrollment is being resolved.
  • Receive school meal programs and Title I services as needed.
