About this Event

Know Your Rights Workshop: Students in Temporary Housing

Did you know that students living in temporary housing have extra rights and protections when it comes to school? We invite you to attend a Know Your Rights training session focused on the McKinney-Vento Act, a federal law that supports students in temporary housing. You are covered by this law if you are homeless, living in a shelter, living with family, living in a hotel or motel, or are an unaccompanied youth.

During the training, we will cover the following topics:

  • What is the McKinney-Vento Act?​
  • Who created it & why was it created?​
  • Who does it apply to?​
  • What are the benefits of the law?​
  • How to use the law to advocate for yourself and/or your child​

Spanish translation will be provided. Children are welcome to attend
