What school should I enroll the child in care into?

Federal law requires schools and child welfare agencies such as DCS to help children in foster care remain in the school they attended prior to coming into care. 

Your school district liaison will work with the DCS specialist to determine school selection, enrolling the child, and a transportation plan.

You can find contact information for your school district's liaison here: https://www.azed.gov/fostercare/foster-care-liaisons. 

If it is decided that the child will not remain in their school of origin, you can enroll the child in any local public or charter school. You can also discuss with your DCS specialist if it is appropriate to enroll the child in an online school, private school or alternative school if those options meet the child’s educational needs.
