Educational Stability for Students Placed in Out of Home Care - The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires that Local Education Agencies (LEAs) and Child Welfare Agencies (CWAs) collaborate to ensure educational stability for students placed in out-of-home care in order to preserve their opportunities for improved well-being and success in school.
Educational stability means ensuring academic continuity (and a student’s right to remain in their school of origin), supporting meaningful relationships developed at school, and fostering a sense of belonging for students who often experience disruptions both at school and at home that can impact their academic experiences and outcomes.
