Homeless Education

Burnet CISD McKinney-Vento Services


The McKinney-Vento Act addresses challenges that students experiencing homelessness or housing instability face with enrolling, attending, and ultimately succeeding in school.


Burnet CISD McKinney-Vento Liaison staff will assist families and students who are enrolling in our schools to address barriers to registration and education and provide students the opportunity to participate in school.  


Our services are intended for helping students to enroll, attend, and receive the educational resources that they need to experience school success.  We can help parents and caretakers ensure that students have the same educational opportunities as other students enrolled in the school district.


We support every school in Burnet CISD.  Please see our McKinney-Vento brochure (English/Spanish) for more information or call or email
