Written by a lawyer with experience in both education and child welfare systems, this resource explains legal requirements and provides practical strategies to serve students in foster care, who often do not fit into the traditional academic sequence and are more likely to struggle academically.

- Address students' educational transitions, from welcome to "aging out"
- Meet Every Student Succeeds Act mandates regarding enrollment, transportation, records, and other areas
- Advocate for students and work with child welfare staff
- Recognize how school policies may hinder foster student progress and address shortcomings
- And more
