Foster Care
The GADOE Foster Care Program focuses on school access, improved educational outcomes, and enhanced academic stability for children and youth in foster care. As the Foster Care Point of Contact, Mrs. Bufford collaborates with the schools and local welfare agencies to identify children and youth in foster care, address school stability, and ensure that each child placed in foster care will remain in the school of origin or the school in which the local child welfare office, consulting all parties involved, determine the most appropriate placement.
