The mission of the Foster Youth Services Coordinating Program (FYSCP) is to coordinate immediate school enrollment, instruction, tutoring, counseling, and other services to meet the specific educational needs of foster students. These services are designed to improve foster children's educational performance and personal achievement.

• Access the same opportunities to meet academic achievement standards including access to the same academic resources, services and extracurricular and enrichment activities as other students.
• School stability by ensuring that they remain in their school of origin for the duration of the school year whenever possible.
• Immediate, proper educational enrollment and placement regardless of available school and/or immunization records. 
• Timely transfer of students and their records when a change of schools occurs.
• Receive credit for full or partial coursework.
• Not be penalized for absences due to placement changes, court appearances, or related court ordered activities.
