By law, all children in Massachusetts, including homeless children, have the right to free public education. Under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, students experiencing homelessness can:

Continue attending their school of origin (the school they attended when permanently housed or the school in which they were last enrolled), if that is their family’s preference and is feasible.
Receive transportation for up to one hour to and from the school of origin. Or, enroll in the local school immediately and attend classes - even if the student lacks the typically required documents - while the school gathers needed documents.
Receive educational services according to your child's needs.
Appeal district enrollment decisions.
Access special education services if the student has a current Individualized Education Program (IEP).
Participate in any school activity that is available to other students.
Receive free school meals.

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act defines homeless children and youth as “individuals who lack a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence” (within the meaning of section 103(a)(1)). This includes:

Children and youths who are sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; or are abandoned in hospitals.
Children and youths who have a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.
Children and youths who are living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings; and
Migratory children (as defined in section 1309 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended) who qualify as homeless because they are living in circumstances described above.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding homeless services, please contact Ashley Major, Director of Academic Operations, who serves as Springfield Prep’s Homeless Education Liaison, at 413-231-2722 or amajor@sprigfieldprep.org.
