After a National Town Hall on the intersection of foster care and education, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) committee passed an amendment to ensure the educational stability of students in foster care. And just the week before last the Department of Education and the Administration for Children, Youth and Families organized a national convening of professionals from education, child welfare, and the judicial system to formulate plans on how to ensure the educational success of children in foster care.
