McKinney-Vento (Definition, Identification, Services etc.)

Dispute Resolution Sample Notification Letter

This document serves as a companion to the dispute resolution materials developed by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). It provides a template letter that School Systems (i.e., school districts and charters) can use to formally notify a parent or unaccompanied youth when disputing a student’s eligibility under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, or when challenging aspects of the student’s school enrollment or school selection.
