Charlotte County Public Schools

MISSION

The Families In Transition Program was created to uphold the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act is a federal law that protects the educational rights of students (PreK-12) who have lost housing and are living in transition.

The goal of the Families In Transition Program is to uphold the McKinney-Vento Act by removing barriers that might prevent students experiencing homelessness from enrolling, attending, and succeeding in school and ensure equal access to the same free, appropriate public education as provided to other youth.
