The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act is the primary federal legislation related to the education of children and youth experiencing homelessness. The act defines homelessness as "lacking fixed, regular, adequate nighttime residence."
It is the policy of the School District of Greenfield to ensure homeless school age children and youth receive equal access to educational programs as well as safeguards that protect them from discrimination based on homelessness.
Questions about rights and responsibilities concerning homeless students can be addressed to Monica Garcia, School District of Greenfield Homeless Liaison, at (414) 855-2044 or Kristine Nadolski, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Education for Homeless Children and Youth Program Coordinator, at (608) 267-7338.
