To ensure the educational stability of a student in foster care, the local Department of Social Services point of contact (LDSS POC) shall contact the district's LEA POC as soon as a current student in the district has been placed in foster care or changed foster care placement. Together the LDSS POC and the LEA POC will take the necessary steps to collaborate to make a best interest determination that considers the student’s individual situation and educational program and needs. A student entering foster care may attend the school that is in their best interest and have transportation to the school, the New York State Education Department (SED) and the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) have collaborated to develop a state policy for school transportation of students placed in foster care.
