Educational Stability Office Hours and Training Resources

Orientations to Educational Stability

Join us for a full-day, in-person training session to gain an overview and basic understanding of ensuring access to public school education for students who are homeless, in foster care, or from migratory or military-connected families. The orientation will include federal and state educational rights, student eligibilities and enrollment, and best practices in supporting highly mobile students. This session is intended for homeless education liaisons, foster care points of contact, family engagement specialists, district staff, and administrators who support highly mobile students and families/guardians. State and local service providers, DCF social workers, and other staff are welcome to attend.
