Educational Rights Public Notice
The mission of the Homeless Education Program is to ensure free, appropriate, public educational opportunities for homeless children and youth; to provide technical assistance to schools, shelters and the community; and to heighten awareness of homeless issues. Homeless children and youth should have equal access to the same educational opportunities and services as non-homeless children and youth. In addition, homeless children and youth should have the opportunity to meet the same challenging academic achievement standards to which all students are held.
