HOMELESS CHILDREN (Board Policy 6:140)Each child of a homeless individual and each homeless youth has equal access to the same free, appropriate public education as provided to other children and youths, including a public pre-school education. A “homeless child” is defined as provided in the McKinney Homeless Assistance Act and the Ill. Education for Homeless Children Act. The Superintendent or designee shall act as or appoint a Liaison for Homeless Children to coordinate this policy's implementation. A homeless child may attend the District school that the child attended when permanently housed or which the child was last enrolled. A homeless child living in any District school's attendance area may attend that school. Whenever a child and his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) who initially share the housing of another person due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or similar hardship continue to share the housing, the Liaison of Homeless Children (Mrs. Christine Arndt, 847-740-1490) shall, after 18 months and annually thereafter, conduct a review as to whether such hardship continues to exist in accordance with State law.
