All children – whether in foster care or not – have a right to a free and appropriate public education. As a foster parent, you are a key part of the team that is instrumental in ensuring your children’s education is meeting their needs. Partnering with children’s social workers, teachers, and educational support staff can be daunting – not to mention all the ins and outs of 504’s and IEPs.
