Question

test: question 9

the mckinney-vento act cites a specific age range.

a) true

b) false

Explanation:

Analyze the McKinney-Vento Act provisions

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act defines "homeless children and youths" as individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. It applies to children and youth of school age (typically from birth/preschool age up to age 21, depending on state-defined public education eligibility), rather than citing a single, restrictive numerical age range.

Evaluate the statement

Because the Act does not restrict its protections to a specific, narrow age range but rather covers all eligible school-aged children and youth (up to age 21), the statement is false.

Answer:

• A) True
• B) False (Correct answer)
