School Districts Liaisons
School District Liaisons
Each of our 40 school districts has its own McKinney Vento and Foster Youth Liaison. They are there to support the foster and unhoused youth in their districts by:
- Facilitating immediate enrollment in school.
- Ensuring the timely transfer of education records when a foster youth changes school placements.
- Supporting academic achievement.
- Encouraging school attendance and reducing truancy and drop-out rates.
- Reducing incidents of student discipline problems and juvenile delinquency.
- Communicating with foster youth and appropriate supporting individuals such as foster parents, education rights holders, social workers, and CASA in order to provide coordinated support to foster youth.
- Ensuring that foster youth receive the appropriate safeguards under: AB 490 (School Stability and Timely Transfer of Records) and AB 167 (High School Graduation Requirements).
