The Everett Public Schools Kids in Transition (KIT) program implements the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Act and the Foster Education Program. Students enrolled in public schools who are homeless, or in a temporary living situation due to economic circumstances, have certain rights or protections under federal law. KIT supports students who qualify as either living in a foster care; or those who meet the definition of homeless under federal McKinney-Vento legislation. McKinney-Vento eligibility is based on the student's nighttime residence and is far more inclusive than what many consider homeless. Students who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence may qualify. KIT works to eliminate barriers to students’ enrollment, academic success, and extra-curricular participation. KIT may coordinate transportation for eligible students to maintain school stability, as long as the commute is feasible.
