The enrollment process in Klein ISD includes a Student Residency Questionnaire (SRQ) as part of our comprehensive efforts to identify students and families currently experiencing homelessness. If your current address is a temporary living arrangement and it is due to loss of housing or economic hardship, you may meet the definition of experiencing homelessness. If, due to a lack of housing, you must live in a shelter, motel, vehicle, campground, on the street, in abandoned buildings, or doubled-up with relatives or friends, then according to the McKinney-Vento Act, you are considered homeless. The educational rights homeless students have under the McKinney-Vento Act include the right to:
-
go to school,
-
enroll in school without giving a permanent address,
-
continue attending the school they were enrolled in before the homelessness occurred when feasible; and
-
enroll in the Texas public school district of their choice with the campus designation being determined by the school district.
