In accordance with federal and state guidelines under the McKinney/Vento Act, Franklin Towne Charter Schools are committed to removing barriers to education that face students experiencing homelessness. 

• Do the members of your household lack a permanent address?
• Are you staying together in a shelter, hotel, or other temporary housing arrangement?
• Have you moved in with another family (doubled up) due to a lack of housing?
• Does your family relocate on a seasonal basis?
• Are any children living with you who have chosen to leave their prior family or household?
• Is your student involved with the justice system?
• Is your student in foster care?  

If you believe children in your household meet these descriptions, please contact your child’s counselor or the homelessness liaison.
