Homeless Student Program
Serving the homeless students in Beecher, Beecher Community School District Homeless Student Education Program ensures that all students are provided with seamless educational services regardless of their current housing situation.
Students eligible for support are those who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence and may include those who are:
· living on the street, in a car, in an abandon building, etc.
· living in shelters and transitional housing programs.
· living in campgrounds, motels and hotels.
· who are doubled up with family or friends due to loss of housing.
· recently placed in a foster home (eligible for at least six months, possibly longer).
· who have runaway or otherwise are not accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Students in the above living situations may attend school where they attended prior to losing their housing with transportation provided, or they may immediately enroll in the district where they are temporarily staying (even if they lack enrollment documents such as birth certificates, immunizations, and proof of residency).
The local homeless liaison assists with enrollment and transportation arrangements. The program can assist with school supplies, necessary school clothing, connection to tutoring supports, and assistance with cost of school activities and programs.
Referrals can be made by local school personnel, social service agencies and shelter staff or by students and families themselves.
