The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), reauthorized as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), contains key provisions to promote educational stability and success for students in foster care. ESSA requires state and local educational agencies to collaborate with child welfare agencies to effectively address the educational needs of children in foster care.
