Northside Independent School District Connections Program

Northside Independent School District is dedicated to the education of all children. The CONNECTIONS Program provides services to students and families experiencing homelessness. This can provide students with the opportunity to engage, contribute, and succeed. 

The CONNECTIONS Program determines student eligibility by following and adhering to the guidelines set forth by McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act.

The McKinney-Vento Education Assistance Act is a federal law that provides services to families and unaccompanied youth that live in a temporary situation due to loss of housing. For more information and to view the federal law, visit The McKinney-Vento Definition of Homeless page.
