Tool Search: Foster Care
The Foster Care tool indicates whether a student is in Foster Care. A start and end date is associated with each instance of a Foster Care record. These records are not tied to student enrollments or calendars.
While the Department of Education has not defined unique fields for the state of Missouri, field population is required for students in Foster Care. Students in Foster Care are reported in the MOSIS Student Core Extract. Please see the Foster Care article for more information on populating these fields.
See the core Foster Care article for information on available Ad hoc fields and guidance on adding and printing Foster Care records.
