What if a homeless student who is not in the physical custody of a parent or guardian seeks to enroll at my school?
Homeless students not in the physical custody of parents or guardians are called, for purposes of the law, unaccompanied youth. It is the responsibility of the schools principal, or a liaison designated by the principal, to ensure that all of the rights accorded to homeless students under the NCLB are explained to unaccompanied youth and enforced on their behalf.
