McKinney-Vento/Homeless

Students who are determined to be homeless are served under the McKinney-Vento Act. Qualification for homeless services is determined by information gathered on the Student Residency Questionnaire which is filled out during the registration process. In Smithville ISD those services are coordinated by the Director of State & Federal Programs.
