Under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the McKinney-Vento Act guarantees educational rights for students experiencing homelessness or residing in unstable housing situations.
To ensure these students and their families receive the support they need, all charter schools are required to appoint a dedicated staff member as the McKinney-Vento liaison. This liaison serves as a point of contact, assisting students in temporary housing and their families. Access the Homeless Liaison Contact List at nysteachs.org/liaisons.
