| Abstract: | This research brief provides a brief introduction to the Oregon foster care system and presents longitudinal post-COVID data that illustrate foster student demographics and academic indicators, special education identification, and separation from peers. It presents data that show that students who identify as American Indian/Alaska Native, Black/African American, and LGBTQ2SIA+ are disproportionately represented among Oregon students in foster care, and that students who experience foster placement also experience reduced academic outcomes compared to their peers as well as higher rates of special education identification, exclusionary discipline, alternative school attendance, juvenile justice contact, and houselessness. |
