School Information

  

Child Find Notice

The Omak School District is required by Washington Administrative Code 392-172-100 to inform patrons of special education services and programs available within the district, including the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act of 1986.

The State of Washington defines special needs ad having concerns with: developmental delays, vision, hearing, health, communication skills, academic performance, social-emotional status, general intelligence, motor abilities, autism, traumatic brain injury, transition services and other disabilities. People with children from birth to age 21, who have any of these conditions are encouraged to contact the Omak School District's director of special services at 509.826.0320 for more information. Families enrolled in WAVA are encouraged to contact Shelley Sears at ssears@K12.com.

The McKinney-Vento Act defines homeless children as "individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence." The McKinney-Vento Act requires schools to register homeless children even if they lack normally required documents, such as immunization records or proof of residence. WAVA families experiencing homelessness are encouraged to contact our Omak School District Liaison Racie McKee at 509.826.7680 or rmckee@omaksd.wednet.edu or you may contact WAVA's Family Resource Coordinator Katy Swartz at 253.682.7906 or kaswartz@k12.com.

McKinney-Vento Act

About the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act of 1986 is a federal law that provides money for homeless shelter programs. "Homeless" children are also entitled to the protections of the McKinney-Vento Act.

The McKinney-Vento Act defines homeless children as "individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence." The act provides examples of children who would fall under this definition:

  1. Children sharing housing due to economic hardship or loss of housing;
  2. Children living in "motels, hotels, trailer parks, or campgrounds due to lack of alternative accommodations"
  3. Children living in "emergency or transitional shelters"
  4. Children "awaiting foster care placement"
  5. Children whose primary nighttime residence is not ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation (e.g., park benches, etc.)
  6. Children living in "cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations…"

The McKinney-Vento Act ensures homeless children transportation to and from school free of charge, allowing children to attend their school of origin (last school enrolled or the school they attended when they first become homeless) regardless of what district the family resides in. It requires schools to register homeless children even if they lack normally required documents, such as immunization records or proof of residence.

Washington State's Role

The McKinney-Vento Act is a conditional funding act—the federal government gives grants to states and, in return, the grantee states are bound by the terms of the act. If a state chooses not to accept federal funds for these purposes, it does not have to implement the act.

To implement the McKinney-Vento Act, the state must designate a statewide homeless coordinator to review policies and create procedures, including dispute resolution procedures, to ensure that homeless children are able to attend school.

School Districts' Responsibilities Local school districts must appoint Liaison contacts to ensure that school staff are aware of these rights, to provide public notice to homeless families (at shelters and at school) and to facilitate access to school and transportation services.
