Summer School

Students in temporary housing who are required to attend summer school to advance to the next grade, or who need summer school to graduate on time, must be provided the opportunity to attend summer school free of charge. LEAs may be asked to cover fees associated with summer school for students in temporary housing. Students in temporary housing are entitled to transportation to and from summer school if the LEA provides transportation to permanently housed students. In addition, where lack of transportation would pose a barrier to the homeless student's ability to attend summer school, LEAs should provide transportation even if it is not customarily provided to permanently housed students. During the summer months, all LEAs are still required to have a McKinney-Vento Liaison. They should appoint an interim summer Liaison if the academic year Liaison is unavailable.
