Transforming Education Outcomes
for Children and Youth in Texas Foster Care

In 2010, the Supreme Court of Texas issued an Order Establishing the Education Committee of the Permanent Judicial Commission for Children, Youth and Families (Children's Commission). The Education Committee — a high level group of court, education, and child welfare decision-makers — created a collaborative initiative and produced a roadmap for us to follow, the Texas Blueprint:  Transforming Education Outcomes for Children and Youth in Foster Care.

The Education Committee believed that school, court and Child Protective Services (CPS) stakeholders needed a website dedicated to the educational needs of students in foster care. This website is intended to be used by teachers, school administrators, CASAs, attorneys and guardians ad litem, school attorneys, courts, and any others who might support children and youth in foster care.

Tools Schools - Learn more... Child Protective Services - Learn more... Courts - Learn more...

Together, we will improve the educational outcomes of our children and youth in care.

The Supreme Court Permanent Judicial Commission for Children, Youth and Families is a Commission that serves as an umbrella organization to promote collaboration between the judiciary, executive branch, and legislature regarding children and families involved in Texas’ foster care system. The Commission does not provide legal representation, render legal advice or opinions, or discuss specific or ongoing cases. Any resource or report published by the Children’s Commission does not reflect an opinion about any case or legal issue and is solely intended to support efforts to systemically improve the Texas child welfare system.
