HOMELESS YOUTH

Education of Homeless Children and Youth

Children of homeless individuals and unaccompanied homeless youth (youth not in the physical custody of a parent/guardian) residing in Unity School District shall have equal rights to the same free, appropriate public education as provided to other children and youth who reside in Unity School District. They shall be provided services comparable to services offered to other children attending Unity School District, including transportation services, educational services for which the children/youth meet eligibility criteria (e.g. special education, Title I programming), vocational and technical education programs, and school nutrition programs. No homeless child or youth should be required to attend a separate school or program for homeless children and shall not be stigmatized by school personnel.

Please contact the Unity School District Homeless Liaison at (715)-825-2101 ext. 3000 if you have questions or are in need of services.
