Abstract	Several systemic factors contribute to the lack of stability and educational opportunities for students in foster care, including lack of transportation to the school of origin (or the schools they enrolled in when they first entered foster care), difficulty enrolling in new schools and transferring credits between school districts, gaps in attendance as a result of disruptions in their lives, and trouble accessing services for both the students and their parents/guardians. States have taken various approaches to addressing these challenges, including policies that directly address barriers for students in foster care and those that indirectly affect this population. This Policy Brief includes examples of federal and state policies intended to support students in foster care and improve their K-12 educational stability and success, as well as opportunities to encourage postsecondary engagement and persistence.
