What it does
Supports school enrollment, attendance, transportation, dispute resolution, and educational continuity for children and youth experiencing homelessness in the United States.
Why it matters
It recognizes homelessness as an education issue, not only a shelter issue.
Quebec takeaway
Quebec cannot simply copy U.S. law, but can learn from the idea that schools need clear responsibilities and support structures.
What remains
Jurisdiction, funding, legal definitions, and implementation infrastructure would need local adaptation.
