Expanded education outcome data

When local child welfare agencies engage in robust real-time bidirectional exchange with their LEA counterparts, they can report to their state child welfare agency on expanded education outcome data on metrics like academic performance, attendance, discipline, enrollment history, type of educational setting, school quality, and course credits. These expanded metrics can help determine the relationship between child welfare and education, including how school disruptions and types of foster placements impacts various measures of student performance.
