The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act is a law that helps people who don't have a home. It helps kids who are living in places like shelters, cars, or even on the streets.
It's like having a special helper who makes sure that these kids have everything they need to go to school. These helpers are called McKinney-Vento liaisons.
The law says that these kids should be able to go to school just like any other kid. The schools need to help them get all the things they need to learn, like books, pencils, and a backpack. They also need to make sure that the kids have a safe and stable place to do their homework.
The law also says that these kids can stay in the same school even if they have to move to a different place. That way they can keep their friends and their teachers who know how to help them learn.
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act is a very important law because it helps make sure that these kids are not left behind and have a chance to do great things in school and in their lives.
