Increasing concerns from educators and policymakers about the barriers to educational success experienced by students in foster care have led to a number of changes in federal laws, policies, and administrative rules. These laws, policies, and rules focus on educational stability as a core component and work together to establish stronger protections that support improved student outcomes. This resource provides a brief overview of key provisions related to students in foster care in Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Those provisions support the rights of children and families, promote success through educational stability, and facilitate cross-system collaboration and information sharing.
