11.08.2012 | Insideschools.org | \"A lot of schools are getting an overflow of kids,\" said Jennifer Pringle, director of NYS TEACHS, which runs a statewide hotline for schools and families about the educational rights of homeless children. And as some shelters close and families are relocated to other living situations, she said, \"You\u2019re looking at kids who are going to transition through several schools.\"<\/p>
Los estudiantes de primaria y secundaria pueden inscribirse directamente en las escuelas del vecindario m\u00e1s cercanas a su lugar de residencia, mientras que los estudiantes de preparatoria deben acudir a un centro de inscripci\u00f3n para registrarse en una escuela m\u00e1s cercana a su domicilio.<\/p>
Displaced students also have the right to keep attending school in their home neighborhoods, said Pringle. \"You can always keep your kids in the same school,\" she said. \"Being connected to the same teachers and school can be supportive when everything else is chaotic in their lives. But the biggest issue for parents is transportation. Sometimes it's not a viable option for them -- parents can take four to six hours a day to get their children to school.\"<\/p>
