If your family lives in any of the following situations:

 
          in a shelter, motel, vehicle or campground

          on the street

          in an abandoned building, trailer or other inadequate   
          accommodations

          doubled up with friends or relatives because you cannot find
          or afford housing

then your preschool aged and school aged children have certain rights or protections under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act and must be given the same rights as children who are not homeless.  For more information please visit the West Virginia Department of Education web site at:
