A New Guidance on School Stability for Students in Foster Care

A new Guidance was released from The U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) and the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (USDHHS) on school stability for students in foster care on November 15, 2024.

This guidance resolves some of the recurring problems in educational stability for students in foster care in Massachusetts and has a helpful section on addressing the disparity in the discipline imposed on students in foster care.  If you represent any students in the legal custody of DCF, this is a must read.
