School Registration of Students in Care of Child Welfare Agencies
In Manitoba, every person has the right to an education. There are no exceptions or qualifications to this right. Students in the care of child and family services agencies also require a carefully planned and timely transition into school.
A Child and Family Services Agency may assume the role of guardian, or act on the guardian’s behalf. When this happens, the placing agency, school personnel, and others collaborate and share information to facilitate the student’s smooth transition into a new school.
