In whichever grade your child is in, it's important to recognize their right to an equitable and positive educational experience as a youth in or formerly in foster care. Join our partners from the Ventura County Office of Education to review the educational entitlements and resources available to youth in foster care. Participants will dive into the legal rights of a child such as the educational rights holder and right to a school of origin, and their available resources and how to access them!
