Title:
Ready to succeed: Changing systems to give California's foster children the opportunities they deserve to be ready for and succeed in school
Source:

Date:
2008
Organization:
Center for the Future of Teaching and Learning
Short Description:
This report contains recommendations to improve the educational outcomes and success of children in and transitioning out of the foster care system.
Annotation:
The data behind the recommendations in this report demonstrate how year after year the state, in its in loco parentis role for foster children, accepts educational outcomes that few parents would tolerate for their own children. The educational neglect this dismal record represents is particularly tragic because educational success could, for many foster children, improve not only their transitions to self-sufficiency and adulthood, but their overall well-being during and after their school years. This report contains recommendations to improve the educational outcomes and success of children in and transitioning out of the foster care system.
