FOSTER CARE POINT OF CONTACT
State Education Offices for Foster Youth
Every state has a foster care point of contact at its state education office — the people who make sure students in foster care stay in their school, get records transferred, arrange school transportation and find support. This page lists the office in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Bureau of Indian Education schools.
Details come from the U.S. Department of Education's official directory ("State Educational Agency (SEA) Foster Care Points of Contact", updated January 2026, checked 2026-09-28). For privacy we list office names only — never a staff member's name or personal email. Reach the office through its website and ask for the foster care point of contact. See the Official Federal Directory (PDF).
