ABOUT
The North Syracuse Central School District is committed to helping all students succeed, no matter their housing situation. If your family is temporarily without a permanent home, your child has special rights under the law to ensure they can continue their education without disruption.
Who qualifies?
Your child has rights under this policy if you are:- Staying with friends or family because you lost housing
- Living in a shelter, motel, car, campground or other temporary place
- In any situation where you don’t have a fixed, regular and adequate place to sleep
Your child has the right to:
- Stay in the same school (even if you move out of the school district) if it’s in their best interest
- Get free transportation to and from school
- Enroll and start school right away even if you don’t have all the required documents (like proof of residency, immunization records, or school records)
- Receive the same services and programs as other students
