The Solano County Foster Youth Services Coordinating Program (FYSCP) provides technical assistance, training, and support to school districts and community partners in supporting the educational needs of foster youth. The County Office has developed an interagency agreement which outlines the coordination of services and information sharing processes among the different organizations. The County Office hosts bi-monthly collaboration meetings through the Foster Youth Education Planning Team which identifies gaps in services and brings community-based organizations together to find solutions. Solano County Office of Education staff is co-located at Solano Child Welfare Services (CWS) and acts as a liaison between the school districts and CWS to facilitate timely communication and transfer of records. County Office staff also provides annual training for each district and community partners on the needs of foster youth and evidence-based interventions.|2018
02100250000000|Alpine County Office of Education|10|4|4|5|5|4|4|4|4|Met|Currently, there are no court-ordered school-aged foster youth in Alpine County and there have not been for at least the past five years. Due to an agreement between Alpine County and the Washoe Tribe, Native American youth who are foster youth are under the jurisdiction of the Washoe Tribe and not identified by the California court system. Alpine County Unified School District does have a small number of students who might otherwise be identified as foster youth per court order, but could not be due to the agreement between the county and the tribe. Ongoing collaboration regarding the identification of new foster youth exists between the County Office of Education and the County’s Health and Human Services Department.For secondary high school grades 9-12, students have options to attend one of two comprehensive high schools outside district boundaries and one internal alternative high school within district boundaries through the County Office of Education. Post-secondary options are provided at the two outside comprehensive schools and individually, if students choose to attend the County’s alternative high school.Coordinated effort by the District/COE and child welfare agencies will serve to reduce a foster youth’s likelihood of dropping out of school thereby increasing the probability they will attend or graduate from college and improve their educational outcomes.  This local indicator is considered to have been met.|2018
42104210000000|Santa Barbara County Office of Education|10|3|3|3|4|2|2|2|2|Met|Great strides were made toward increased communication and coordination of services through the use of Foster Focus. This was particularly true for school staff who now have access to updated rosters of foster youth, allowing staff to offer necessary supports and services to help their students succeed. The FYSCP’s ability to support districts and placement agencies with expeditious transfers was greatly increased due to our ability to immediately access current educational information in the system. We also began to utilize a module in the system for tracking college readiness and financial aid, helping us meet our goal of having 60% of the seniors in foster care (enrolled in our county) complete their FAFSA applications.  We effectively collected data through our Foster Focus/Student Information System links. The data is not quite complete enough to serve as accurate baseline data for outcomes, but this year has been an important first step toward developing practices that will allow us to effectively pinpoint the areas of greatest need in our foster youth community.  SBCEO operated under an MOU with Child Welfare Services (CWS) during 2017-18 to staff two Education Liaisons who are co-located with CWS social workers. The liaisons are able to request educational records on behalf of social workers and schools in order to facilitate prompt enrollment and proper educational placement for foster youth when changing schools. This was a very effective collaborative effort.|2018

FYSCP continues to assists LEAs when requested to coordinate meetings with all agencies to discuss individual Foster Youth cases. Meetings such as SSTs and IEPs are coordinated to evaluate the students’ current needs. FYSCP has been conducting FYSCP Network Meetings with District FYS Liaisons and also has met with District Counselors more frequently in efforts to assist LEAs with meeting the needs of Foster Youth enrolled in their Districts.  FYSCP has provided a series of trainings for LEA personnel which also include Designated LEA Foster Youth Liaisons and also to Department of Social Services Social Workers in the areas of AB490, AB854 and ESSA. LEAs have been very successful in providing direct educational services for their foster youth. FYSCP is available to assist districts to seek specific services if the LEA is not able to provide such services to foster youth. FYSCP also collaborates with outside agencies to assist foster youth currently enrolled in foster youth program. FYSCP has collaborated with IVROP, Project Ace in coordinating a Summer Academic Program to help children and youth improve their academics in the areas of English Language Arts and Mathematics.|2018
34103480000000|Sacramento County Office of Education|10|5|5|5|5|5|5|5|5|Met|SCOE's Foster Youth Services monitors youth academic engagement and enrollment daily using our Foster Focus system. This innovative system operates as a network throughout the state making it possible to retrieve daily refreshed data to help monitor and improve foster youth education outcomes. High mobility often threatens outcomes of foster youth. As a child moves from school to school, important academic records can lag behind or become lost. Designated school districts, CPS, and probation may access Foster Focus and instantly retrieve student data, resulting in immediate enrollment and placement, and a smoother transition. Upon completion, a Registrar contacts SCOE to ensure appropriate services are provided. This includes coordination of outside services such as drug and alcohol counseling, anger management classes, mental health services, and parenting classes for teen parents. SCOE leads or participates in multi-agency teams that lead service delivery for foster youth in cooperation with district placement officers, child welfare professionals, juvenile court judges, and mental health agencies. Teams meet quarterly to share data and coordinate services to ensure transfer of health and education records for foster youth. FYS meets with foster youth in our schools regarding available programs such as AB167 graduation requirements and AB12 post-secondary support. FYS staff help foster youth develop personal plans to ensure they are linked with post-secondary support.|2018

03100330000000|Amador County Office of Education|10|4|2|4|4|4|2|2|2|Met|Foster youth are the most at risk student population in Amador County Office of Education (ACOE).  However, our participation in the Foster Youth Services Coordinating Program (FYSCP) is allowing us to increase our students’ access to resources. We have identified a subgroup of our Foster Youth that stands out as being even more at-risk. This subgroup is made up of youth who have had many different foster and home placements along with school changes. This creates extreme obstacles in the ability to continue with the school of origin and often results in educational gaps, increased educational and behavioral needs, and continuous trauma. In response to this continuous trauma ACOE, in collaboration with our county agencies, has worked to provide training for staff and community members in trauma-informed practices. There are many trainings offered for staff and community members by the FYSCP and our local agencies such as Resilient Amador, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) trainings, and Youth Mental Health First Aid to name a few. Trauma-informed staff and community members have increased positive interactions with our foster youth and other youth impacted by trauma in their lives. The Foster Liaison attends multi-disciplinary team meetings bi-weekly at the department of behavioral health. Through these meetings, we are able to work together as a community to leverage resources and collaborate about the foster youth in our community.|2018

ACOE also receives daily potential change of placement notifications. A formal agreement with Probation has not yet been established. Transportation of foster youth is facilitated; a formal transportation agreement has been developed but not yet signed. We continue to provide technical assistance, training, and referrals to LEAs, families, and community providers. AB 854 allows COEs to provide education case management services and as such, Alameda’s LEAs have not been required to provide certification for direct services. In regard to transfer of records, ACOE and five LEAs utilize the Foster Focus data base. Transition aged foster youth receive post-secondary support through the collaborative group Alameda College Bridge Collaborative. Higher education providers are also members of ACOE’s FYSCP’s Executive Advisory Council. Both community college and four year universities are active members. ACOE is also the lead in our county for a FAFSA Challenge focusing on foster youth. ACOE helps districts and child welfare identify seniors who can apply for financial aid.
