Hawaii's Foster Care Resource

Education Success for Children in Foster Care

2024 Child Welfare Annual Law Update Conference in Honolulu

Hawaii was lucky to have Kristin Kelly, JD, from the American Bar Association Center on Children and the Law in Washington D.C., tips & strategies to a group of resource caregivers and service providers on August 16, 2011, to help us know how to:
• Keep children in the same schools, or quickly enroll them in a new school;
• Help children enter school ready to learn;
• Prevent school dropout, truancy, and disciplinary actions; and
• Support youth around postsecondary education goals.

This training was sponsored  by the Foster Care Training Committee, the Court Improvement Program & the Hawai`i Department of Human Services.
