Do foster children have to change school districts?
Yes, typically foster children attend school in their foster parents’ district. However, if a foster child is placed in foster care from the Rochester City School District into a foster home within the District, he/she could possibly stay at the same school. Also, a foster child can attend a private school although the county cannot pay for private schooling (occasionally a foster parent has taken on that responsibility themselves, voluntarily). Foster children cannot be home schooled.
