Foster Care

Foster Care

Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) contains key provisions to promote educational stability and success for students in foster care.

  • Children in foster care should remain in the school they attend before entering foster care or before a placement change (school of origin).
  • The transportation of a child in foster care, to their school of origin, is a shared responsibility between the LEA and the child welfare agency.
  • The only reason a child in foster care would have to change schools is that it is in their best interest to go to a new school.
  • If it is in the best interest of a child in foster care to go to a new school, the new school would need to immediately enroll that child, even without relevant paperwork.
