    Unaccompanied Youth

    The term "unaccompanied youth" includes youth in homeless situations who are NOT in the physical custody of a parent of guardian. 

     

    Regarding School:

    Unaccompanied youth have the same rights as other students experiencing homelessness to enroll in, attend & succeed at school, including the right to:

    • Remain in their school of origin to the extent feasible or attend any public school that students living in the same attendance area are eligible to attend

    • Attend classes and participate fully in school activities immediately, even if they do not have a parent or guardian to enroll them or have required documents, such as school records, medical records, proof of residency, or other documents

    • Be free from segregation, isolation, and stigmatization

    • Have comparable access to school meals, English language

      services, vocational and technical education, gifted and talented

      services, special education, and Title I services

    • Have disputes resolved promptly and attend the school they

      choose while disputes are pending
