The Foster Care Education Program at the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) was launched in September 2012 and is dedicated to ensuring that students in foster care are successful in school and life. The term "student in foster care" means that an individual has experienced an out-of-home placement and has been enrolled in a Colorado public school. National research shows that children in foster care are at high-risk of dropping out of school and are unlikely to attend and graduate from college. It was with this sense of urgency that CDE launched the Foster Care Education Program to provide a framework and structure to support schools and districts in addressing barriers that impede the education of students in foster care and sets forth a course toward postsecondary success.
