Members of the committee:
My name is Kendall Seal. I am the Vice President for Policy at the Center for the Rights of Abused Children (Center). The Center works with policymakers to ensure every child has a safe and loving home. We want to see every child who enters foster find swift permanency with a family. However, while they are in care, we seek to do everything we can minimize the trauma they inevitably experience and give that opportunities to thrive. That includes ensuring they have the educational stability and services then need.
