The Student Residency Questionnaire for Esmeralda County (English) is a structured screening tool used by schools to identify students who may be experiencing homelessness or unstable housing, in alignment with the McKinney-Vento Act. The questionnaire asks clear, non-stigmatizing questions about a student’s living situation to help determine eligibility for McKinney-Vento services and supports. For educational leaders and school staff, this tool promotes consistent identification practices and ensures compliance with federal requirements. Parents and students benefit from a user-friendly way to share important information, while community members gain a better understanding of how schools proactively identify and connect families to resources such as enrollment support, transportation, and academic stability services.
