We are getting some inquiries concerning the rights of homeless students to receive a free public education in conjunction with our ongoing coverage of Dr. Weast's decision to not enroll a student who is a US Citizen, has a court appointed legal guardian, but whose birth parents currently reside in Thailand.
The law that protects students who are homeless is the McKinney Vento Act.

Another law MCPS chooses to ignore.
I am not clear on the connection between the law and MCPS. Magnet Mom, coud you explain the connection? From what I understand, MCPS is not obligated to follow the law, including this so-called "McKinney Vento Act." Thanks.
