Homeless Support Program: McKinney-Vento
Pullman Public Schools is committed to helping students who are facing housing instability so they can continue their education without interruptions. Through the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, the district works to remove barriers that might prevent students from fully participating in school activities, events, and learning.
We aim to partner with families, offering support and resources to help students succeed in school. This includes referrals to community services that can assist with both educational needs and basic necessities.
Students experiencing homelessness have the right to either stay in their current school (the school they attended before becoming homeless) or transfer to the nearest school to where they are living. We also provide transportation to help students stay in their original school if it is in their best interest.
