Already, local districts offer a range of services to support homeless kids. Under federal law, they're required to provide transportation to keep students at the same school when their families move, and sometimes they even cross county lines to do so. They also offer bus passes and gas cards so kids can stay on campus for after-school tutoring, they connect children and their parents to local social-service agencies, and they have private donations that help with school fees, extracurricular activities and even food.
