The Children’s Bureau (CB) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is committed to collaborating with the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education in the U.S. Department of Education to support academic success and emotional well-being for children in foster care. The Department of Education issued a Dear Colleague Letter on July 25, 2023 about the importance of collaboration and joint decision-making between educational agencies and child welfare agencies to prioritize the educational stability of students in foster care.
Today, CB issued Information Memorandum ACYF-CB-IM-23-09 on Interagency Collaboration between Child Welfare and Educational Agencies to Support the Academic Success of Children and Youth in Foster Care. The purpose of this Information Memorandum (IM) is to remind state and tribal title IV-E agencies of the school enrollment and educational stability requirements for students in foster care included in title IV-E and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and to share promising practices from a number of jurisdictions.
Please direct inquiries to Children’s Bureau Regional Program Managers.
