Get resources for more information on transportation. Transporte Según la Ley McKinney-Vento y la Ley de Educación de Nueva York § 3209, un estudiante en una vivienda temporal tiene derecho a transporte a su escuela de origen. Las protecciones de transporte incluyen: Transporte a la escuela a la que asistió el estudiante la última vez que estuvo alojado permanentemente hasta 50 millas en cada sentido, o a la escuela más reciente a la que asistió, incluso si la escuela se encuentra en un distrito escolar diferente del que el estudiante está viviendo temporalmente; Transporte continuo a la misma escuela por el resto del año académico cuando el estudiante se mude a una vivienda permanente, incluso si la nueva vivienda está ubicada fuera del distrito escolar; En el estado de Nueva York, también se proporciona transporte por un año adicional después de que el estudiante se muda a una vivienda permanente si el año adicional es el último año del estudiante en el edificio de la escuela (por ejemplo, 12º grado); Si un estudiante en una vivienda temporal asiste a la escuela en el mismo distrito donde está alojado temporalmente, entonces puede obtener el mismo transporte que sus compañeros alojados permanentemente. Si los estudiantes alojados permanentemente no tienen transporte, y la falta de transporte crea una barrera para un estudiante en una vivienda temporal, entonces el distrito tiene que proporcionar transporte para superar la barrera; Transporte a actividades extracurriculares si la falta de transporte fuera una barrera para el estudiante que participa. En el estado de Nueva York, el distrito escolar donde el estudiante asiste a la escuela es el distrito responsable de proporcionar transporte. A veces, el departamento local de servicios sociales (DSS) es responsable del transporte, por ejemplo, cuando el estudiante ha sido colocado en un refugio fuera del distrito escolar y el estudiante es elegible para Asistencia de emergencia para familias. El DSS local puede cumplir con su responsabilidad solicitando al distrito escolar que proporcione el transporte y reembolsando al distrito escolar los costos.

La escuela debe inscribir a sus hijos dentro de 1 día, incluso sin formularios de vacunación, papeles de tutela, certificados de nacimiento o comprobante de domicilio. Después de que sus hijos estén inscritos, la escuela puede ayudarlo a obtener los registros necesarios. Transporte: si sus hijos permanecen en la misma escuela, pueden obtener transporte gratuito hacia / desde esa escuela.

Some people choose not to file a tax return because they didn't earn enough money to be required to file . Generally, they won't receive a failure to file penalty if they are owed a refund – but they won’t receive their refund either. A refund isn’t the only money people might be missing out on when they don’t file. If they’re eligible for tax credits, like the child tax credit and the earned income tax credit, they’re leaving that money on the table as well. The child tax credit The child tax credit helps families with qualifying children get a tax break. People may be able to claim the credit even if they don't normally file a tax return. Taxpayers qualify for the full amount of the 2021 child tax credit for each qualifying child if they meet all eligibility factors and their annual income isn’t more than: $150,000 if they’re married and filing a joint return, or if they’re filing as a qualifying widow or widower. $112,500 if they’re filing as a head of household. $75,000 if they’re a single filer or are married and filing a separate return. The earned income tax credit The earned income tax credit helps low- to moderate-income workers and families get a tax break. If someone qualifies, they can use the credit to reduce the taxes they owe – and maybe increase their refund. Low- to moderate-income workers with qualifying children may be eligible to claim the earned income tax credit if certain qualifying rules apply to them. People may qualify for the EITC even if they can’t claim children on their tax return. Visit IRS.gov to learn how to claim the EITC without a qualifying child . People who qualify for the EITC, may also qualify for other tax credits, including: Child tax credit and the credit for other dependents Child and dependent care credit Education credits Recovery rebate credit FAFSA The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is now open.

Homeless education resources regarding immigrant students Estudiantes inmigrantes Los estudiantes inmigrantes que experimentan la falta de vivienda están protegidos por la Ley McKinney-Vento, independientemente de su estado migratorio. Según la ley federal, los distritos escolares están obligados a proporcionar a todos los niños, independientemente de su situación migratoria o de vivienda, igual acceso a la educación pública en los niveles primario y secundario.

Website Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Undocumented students in temporary housing are protected by the McKinney-Vento Act. On June 15, 2012, the Obama Administration issued a memo announcing that the U.S. would not deport certain undocumented persons who entered the United States as children. This memo is known as “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).” Deferred action means that, even though the individual is undocumented and subject to deportation, the government agrees to not take actions to remove the person from the United States. It is important to note that a grant of deferred action does not grant that person citizenship, and it does not change an individual’s existing immigration status, nor provide a path to citizenship. For more information about DACA, including FAQs and guidelines, please visit the Immigrant Legal Resource Center’s website. Please note: as of June 16, 2017 the DACA program is still available and accepting applications.

Laws & Guidance Potential Effects of the War in Ukraine on School Communities The Russian invasion of Ukraine has created the fastest and largest refugee crisis in Europe since World War II. Over 5.2 million Ukrainians, mostly women, children, and the elderly, have been forced to flee their homes to neighboring European countries. In March, President Biden announced that the United States would accept up to 100,000 refugees1 fleeing Ukraine. New York schools will play a significant role in supporting the education, mental health, and well-being of the refugees seeking a haven from war. Schools need to be prepared to address the effects of the violence in Ukraine on our students, schools, and local communities. These could range from fostering refugees in our communities and schools to supporting students and families dealing with vicarious or secondary trauma.

Guides & Fact Sheets Communications Guide for McKinney-Vento Liaisons NYS-TEACHS Centering Anti-Racist Approaches to Conversations with Families and Colleagues McKinney-Vento liaisons are responsible for the identification, enrollment, and the removal of educational barriers for students experiencing homelessness. McKinney-Vento liaisons can create meaningful change in their districts and the lives of students experiencing homelessness by providing internal trainings and connecting students to educational resources and community referrals. Unfortunately, due to systemic racism across many aspects of American life, Black, Latinx, Native American, and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities experience homelessness at disproportionate rates compared to white and Asian communities. Systemic racism exists in schools; therefore, it is crucial for McKinney-Vento liaisons to reflect on school protocols and narratives that reinforce racial bias and inequity. Even small intentional changes, such as in our semantics, can have positive effects on family relationships and ultimately, the well-being and success of students. We created this tip sheet to help McKinney-Vento liaisons and other school staff reflect on their own communication styles, race, and how institutional racism impacts students and families.
