Families under the McKinney-Vento Act are in transition due
to life experiences and lacking a FIXED, REGULAR, ADEQUATE residence.
The BCSD reduces barriers by providing a safe and stable school environment. We can assist with:
- Immediate enrollment
- Free lunch/backpack program
- School supplies/fees
- Transportation
- Tutoring
- Hygiene supplies, clothing, shoes, and coats
- Referrals to community agencies for other identified needs besides
housing issues. Butte County does have affordable housing to assist these families in a timely manner.
Twice a year parents are asked to fill out the Student Residency
Questionnaire to help identify families that might qualify for
assistance through the McKinney-Vento Act. If you have questions about
this program or if you need assistance please contact the Butte County
School District At-Risk/Homeless Coordinator, Dr. Joel Wilson. (208.690.3421). We are here
to help.
