An Act relative to educational support for children in foster care

This bill requires the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families to improve educational support for children in foster care by working with schools, unions, and advocacy groups. It mandates a review of current policies, the creation of streamlined guidance for offices, and the development of new regulations that clarify the roles of foster parents, social workers, and school districts. Additionally, the bill establishes a training program for new foster parents regarding their educational responsibilities and requires an annual report on the academic progress of these children.
