If a district does not provide transportation to non-homeless students, is it required to transport homeless students?
Yes. Transportation is a service for homeless students that is required of a school district. At the request of a parent or guardian, a district must provide or arrange transportation to and from the homeless student’s school of origin. Transportation personnel who identify homeless students or suspect that a student is homeless should notify the district McKinney-Vento liaison to ensure appropriate services are provided. The district’s transportation division should arrange transportation at the request of McKinney-Vento liaisons acting on behalf of unattached youth.
