    STREAMLINING THE ENROLLMENT PROCESSES FOR STUDENTS IN FOSTER CARE

    • Children in foster care are entitled to immediate enrollment at a new school or district.

    • CPS caseworkers are required to enroll a child in school within 3 days of a child being placed or moving to a new school district.

    • The caseworker has up to 30 days to provide all necessary enrollment paperwork (to include birth certificates).

    • If a birth certificate is missing, records from the school most recently attended and or immunization records, legal documents, court orders, or Placement Authorization forms can be used to prove identity or verify information about the student.

    • Proof of residency (utility bill, lease agreement)

    • Proof of child’s identity (birth certificate or other acceptable document)
