Education is key to economic and personal well-being. This report provides information on the educational outcomes of older adolescents who have had contact with the child welfare system in Minnesota, over 30 months, prior to the 2002-2003 academic year. Very few of these youth were in out-of-home placement, and it is likely that many of them no longer had active county case workers when their educational status was reviewed.
