An act relating to supporting homeless students

H.835 requires Vermont school districts to immediately enroll homeless students and provide transportation assistance to their school of origin if parents or guardians relocate to a different district. Each district must also designate a homeless education liaison to help with enrollment, transportation, and support services. The bill creates the Educational Stability Grant Program, providing state funding to schools for academic and social-emotional services aimed at improving attendance, graduation rates, and reducing disciplinary incidents for highly mobile students. These changes directly affect homeless students, school districts, and public education providers.
