4FFCSD Seeks Families Displaced by Flooding

Fonda-Fultonville CSD is asking families displaced by the recent flood to contact them.

Was your family or a family you know displaced by the flood of June 2006?

The McKinney-Vento Education Program, a federal law, gives students who are homeless and temporarily relocated after an act of nature, such as a flood, the right to attend school in their home district as long as they live within a 50-mile radius of the home district. Their home district must provide free transportation.

The Fonda-Fultonville CSD is trying to determine how many students were affected by the flood and what the district’s legal obligations are. Any family that is unable to live in their home because of the June 2006 flood should contact the Pupil Services Office at 853-3189, ext 4234 for a Family Temporary Relocation form, download one from this page, or pick one up in any of the school buildings or various locations around town. The banks, post-offices, and several businesses will have them. Residents will be asked where they used to live, where they live now and how long they plan on living there. The answers will allow school officials in all districts to determine students’ residency status and provide necessary transportation when school starts.
