All young people deserve a stable education

To help young people in and transitioning from foster care have a stable education that includes post-secondary opportunities, we should:

• ensure that young people remain in the school that they are enrolled in at time of removal and placement changes; if a school change is in their best interest, provide immediate enrollment in, and records transfer to, a new school
• make tuition waivers to public or private schools available to young people formerly in foster care up to the age of 24
• provide other supports for post-secondary education (e.g., books, computers, school supplies, tuition payment, Education Training Vouchers, housing)
