Student Rights and Equal Access

McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act protects children and youth who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. This can include students staying temporarily with others because of loss of housing or economic hardship; living in motels, shelters, vehicles, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, or similar temporary settings; and unaccompanied youth.

Eligible students have the right to:

  • Receive a free, appropriate public education and enroll immediately, even when records normally required for enrollment are not available.
  • Remain in the school of origin when it is in the student’s best interest, or enroll in the school serving the area where the student is temporarily living.
  • Receive transportation to and from the school of origin when required under the Act.
  • Participate fully in school programs and receive services for which the student is eligible, including school meals and educational support.
  • Remain enrolled while an enrollment or school-selection dispute is resolved promptly and receive information about appeal rights.

For confidential assistance, contact Principal Yvette Brown at browny@academiedavinci.org and Dean of Students Andrea Bartelloni at bartellonia@academiedavinci.org, or call 727-298-2778.
