Children and youth in foster care face a unique set of educational challenges, including frequent school transfers, a lack of communication between public schools and child welfare agencies, and a lack of stable academic support and guidance. FosterEd is an initiative of the National Center for Youth Law that improves the academic outcomes of foster children by ensuring they are supported by educational champions and strengthened by education teams. Jesse Hahnel, an attorney and a former public school teacher, founded FosterEd in 2009 and launched a pilot project in Marion County, Indiana the following year. This case study tells the story of how FosterEd worked across government agencies, forming a leadership team consisting of representatives of the Juvenile Court, public school system, and child welfare agency, to resolve students’ unmet educational needs, ranging from behavioral to attendance issues
