Foster Care Plan
The Muskogee Public School District is committed to provide all students with sound educational experiences that recognizes that foster children are at an increased risk of grade retention, gaps in academic achievement, low school graduation rates and postsecondary enrollment. These provisions promote greater stability for children in foster care so that they can continue their education without disruption, maintain important relationships with peers and adults, and have the opportunity to achieve college and career readiness.
The education stability includes assurances that (1) a child in foster care will remain in the child's school of origin, unless a determination is made that it is not in the child's best interest in that school and (2) if a determination is made that it is not in the child's best interests to remain in the school or origin, the child will immediately enrolled in the school of residence, even if the child is unable to produce records normally required during enrollment.
