Answer: Yes, the question of ‘best interest’ only pertains to school selection decisions when there is a choice of schools – school of origin vs. school of “residence.” However, there may be other ways to a student to get a residency waiver or choice into another school, unrelated to McKinney-Vento.
Does “best interest” of a student only refer to a decision between school of origin and attendance area school? What if a student refuses those options and wants a “fresh start” at a different school?
