This study examined the perspectives of school staff who have direct contact with foster youth across four school sites with high foster enrollment in one California district. This fills a research gap for studies involving elementary school aged foster youth, as well as for studies involving the perceptions of school staff. Using the lens of interpretivist theory, a humanistic style of research centering on the real-world experiences of participants, this study entailed interviews with 14 participants around their experiences serving foster youth and their academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs. Data analysis indicated forms of student support observed and practiced by participants, as well as challenges they named in meeting the needs of foster youth in particular. Participants often expressed a new perspective on the available research. The study includes their recommendations for practice at their school sites, as well as discussion of potential future research directions.
