A relatively new child welfare law, the Fostering
Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act (Fostering Connections), now also supports education stability for all children in out-of-home care. Both laws recognize the need for school stability and continuity for these highly mobile children. However, each provides a different set of rights and responsibilities. The McKinney-Vento and Foster Care Overlap fact sheet provides a brief overview of the overlap between the two laws, and the critical importance of collaboration between the education and child welfare systems to appropriately serve the needs of children in out-of-home care.
This toolkit is designed to assist you in understanding current laws as well as student rights.
