Dispute Resolution. Updated. McKinney-Vento Law into Practice Brief Series
National Center for Homeless Education
Subtitle VII-B of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. § 11431 et seq.; hereafter the "McKinney-Vento Act"), reauthorized in 2015 by Title IX, Part A of the Every Student Succeeds Act, guarantees educational rights and supports for students experiencing homelessness. The Act requires State education agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs; commonly referred to as "school districts") to follow a dispute resolution process when parents, guardians, or unaccompanied youth disagree with schools over eligibility for services, school selection, or school enrollment under the Act [42 U.S.C. § 11432(g)(3)(E)]. This brief summarizes the key provisions related to dispute resolution included in the McKinney-Vento Act, and suggests strategies for implementation at the SEA and LEA levels. [For the 2015 edition of this brief, see ED574588.]
