What should the school do if a homeless student appears for enrollment?
Assist the parent in locating immunization records or receiving required immunizations by immediately contacting the local public health clinic or public health nurse
OR

When a homeless youth appears for enrollment, the school should immediately contact the local public health clinic or public health nurse. Federal law requires that we enroll this homeless student, regardless of immunization status. We believe that through cooperation with the Department of Health and Social Services we can immunize homeless students and ensure our schools are safe for all students.
