Homeless Education

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act for Homeless Children and Youth entitles all homeless school-aged children to the same free and appropriate public education that is provided to non-homeless students. Every school district must appoint a liaison to assist these students.

A homeless student is defined as a person between the ages of birth (Early Head Start and Head Start Programs) and twenty-two (special education students) who lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence and may temporarily:

Live in an emergency or transitional shelter; abandoned building, parked car, or other facility not designed as regular sleeping accommodation for human beings;

Live “doubled-up” with another family, due to loss of housing stemming from financial problems (e.g., loss of job, eviction or natural disaster);

Live in a hotel or motel;

Live in a trailer park or campsite with their family;

Have been abandoned at a hospital;

Be awaiting foster placement in limited circumstances;

Reside in a home for school-aged, unwed mothers or mothers-to-be if there are no other available living accommodations; or

Be abandoned, runaway, or pushed out youth or migrant youth that qualifies as homeless because he/she is living in circumstances described above.

A homeless student has the right to attend either the school of origin, defined as the school that the student was last enrolled or attended when last housed or any school attended in the past fifteen (15) months; or the current school of residence. If a dispute arises over school selection or enrollment, the parent/guardian has the right to dispute the school’s decision by contacting the district’s homeless liaison at 650-550-7946 and following the district’s dispute resolution policy.

The law requires the immediate enrollment of homeless students, which is defined as “attending class and participating fully in school activities”. Schools cannot delay or prevent the enrollment of a student due to the lack of school or immunization records or other documentation usually required for enrollment. It is the responsibility of the district homeless liaison to refer parents to all programs and services for which the student is eligible. Referrals may include, but is not limited to: free nutrition, special education services, tutoring, English Language Learners programs, Gifted and Talented Education program, preschool, before and after school services or any other program offered by the school or district. The district shall ensure that transportation is provided, at the request of the parent/guardian/unaccompanied homeless youth, to and from the school of origin, if feasible.

Unaccompanied youth; such as teen parents not living with their parent or guardian or students that have runaway or have been pushed out of their homes, have access to these same rights.

A homeless student that transfers schools after the second year of high school, and is greatly deficient in credits may be able to graduate within four years with reduced state requirements. School districts are required to issue and accept partial credit for courses that have been satisfactorily completed.

For the 2025-2026 school year, JUHSD will continue to offer a Remote Independent Study option. This program will be housed at Thornton High School and/or the District Office's Independent Study Program. Students who choose to participate in this program will be transferred to Thornton. Students who do not make adequate progress after a series of interventions will be asked to return to in-person instruction at Thornton High School.

Each student’s IEP will have to reflect team approval before the student can be eligible. Students with IEP approved for Remote Independent Study will remain enrolled in the Home School and will not be transferred to Thornton High School.

Restraints & Seclusion - AB1466

Governor Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill 1466 on October 8, 2023. This law seeks to increase transparency by allowing members of the public easy access to information relevant to the control of student behavior in school environments. Effective immediately, all local educational agencies (LEAs) will be required to post on their websites the same data related to restraint and seclusion that they are currently required to share with the California Department of Education (CDE).

What Does AB 1466 Add to the Existing Law?

Existing law limits the use of restraint and seclusion by school personnel. It also requires local educational agencies (LEAs) to annually collect data and report to the CDE specific information about the use of behavioral restraints and seclusion in schools. California Education Code section 49006 requires that no later than three months after the end of a school year, LEAs must submit a report to CDE.

This information must be separated by race or ethnicity and gender, with separate counts for students with Section 504 plans and Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), and those without such plans.

Restraint and Seclusion data can be found at https://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/ad/filesrsd.asp
