School Stability Support for Foster Care Youth From Berks County Intermediate Unit
The Berks County Intermediate Unit runs an Educational Stability for Foster Care Youth program that provides technical assistance and professional development related to the education of foster care youth.
Children in foster care frequently change schools, which can be disruptive to their education. The Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 promotes school stability and success for foster care youth by formalizing provisions for school districts and child welfare agencies. The Intermediate Unit's work supports that law, so this is guidance and training about how schools and agencies handle these situations rather than a direct service for a family.
For questions and training requests, contact the regional office at (610) 987-8509.
The program's page also links to three resources on foster care and school stability: the Region 2 ECYEH Website, a document called Foster Educational Stability Guidance, and PAfostercare.org.
The Berks County Intermediate Unit 14 is at 1111 Commons Blvd, Reading, PA 19605. Its general-questions number is 610-987-2248 and its general email address is info@berksiu.org.
The page does not say who may request assistance, what it costs, or what hours the regional office keeps.
