What is McKinney-Vento?

The Mckinney-Vento act is designed to address the challenges that children and youth experiencing housing insecurity can face in enrolling, attending, and succeeding in school.

If your student or a student you know is:
  • staying with friends or family temporarily due to economic hardship
  • staying in a hotel, motel, or campground
  • living in a shelter
  • staying somewhere that is not meant to be used as a home or sleeping place, such as a car or other public place
Please contact the CCPS McKinney-Vento Liaison - Danielle Pettyjohn 706-764-7516.

Catoosa County Children's Fund

The Fund provides short-term assistance to qualified Catoosa County School students and their families when unexpected needs create a barrier to a child’s ability to attend school, participate fully, or focus on learning.

Assistance may include food, clothing, shelter, eyeglasses, dental and medical care, education-related supplies or fees, scholarships and admission’s fees, or other short-term emergency needs.
