Ensuring that unhoused children and youths in Washington have equal access to free, appropriate public education.

Summary

The law requires the state superintendent of public instruction and every school district to identify, enroll, and support unhoused children and youths so they can attend school without barriers. It mandates transportation, preschool access, nutrition, special‑education, career‑technical and other services, and creates a grant program to help districts cover these costs. The bill also sets reporting, data‑collection, and coordination requirements with social‑service and housing agencies.
