RPS Nov 2024 Family Engagement Presentation
Contents
Often family homelessness is hidden. This session will help people understand and identify homelessness under the McKinney Vento Act and understand what resources are available to students and families who may qualify. Learn about signs, who to reach out to and what resources might be available for families through our triage process for those experiencing homelessness in Rochester Public Schools.
This is a collaboration among Rochester Public Schools, Olmsted County, and Three Rivers Community Action who all share a similar goal focused around solving student/family homelessness in Rochester. ,

RPS Program
The Students In Transition program in Rochester Public Schools helps to support and provide services to students experiencing unstable housing or homelessness. The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act of 2001 defines “homeless children and youths” as “individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence.”
Rights of Children and Youth Experiencing Homelessness:
Access to a free and appropriate public education
Receive the same programs and services that are provided to all other children
Enrollment in a new school without proof of residential status, school records, proof of guardianship or other documents
Continue in the school they attended before becoming homeless
Receive transportation to the school they attended before becoming homeless
Free breakfast and lunch at school
