Finding Common Ground on the Education of Children in Foster Care

Finding Common Ground on the Education of Children in Foster Care

As children around Baltimore settle into the routine of the school year, the distinct minority who enter foster care will struggle to find stability. Often, as temporary placements shift and these youngsters are jostled from placement to placement, the instability that permeates their life also seeps into their school experience.

But a novel collaboration between the Baltimore City Department of Social Services (BCDSS) and Baltimore City Public Schools (BCPS) holds the promise of offering something to Baltimore foster children that is in wide variance across this country: the chance at educational stability.

Note: Just give them a suitcase like they do in West Virginia, and it will be all better.

Note for the stupid: I was being sarcastic.
