Program Description

The District Foster Care Liaison assists in facilitating the enrollment and transfer of records of students in the legal custody of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) when enrolling in or changing schools.

-review student schedules to ensure they are on track to graduate -encourage successful transition into adulthood and post-secondary opportunities
