McKinney-Vento Act 

Families under the McKinney-Vento Act are in transition due to life experiences and lacking a FIXED, REGULAR, ADEQUATE residence. 
 
The KSD reduces barriers by providing a safe and stable school environment.  We can assist with: 

  • Immediate enrollment 

  • Free lunch 

  • School supplies/fees 

  • Transportation 

  • Tutoring 

  • Hygiene supplies, clothing, shoes, and coats 

  • Referrals to community agencies for other identified needs besides housing issues.  

Twice a year parents are asked to fill out the Student Residency Questionnaire to help identify families that might qualify for assistance through the McKinney-Vento Act.
