I don't know about Kansas, but in Georgia the kids go to the school local to the foster home. If they're going to be moved within a few days, or are expected to go home after the detentional hearing, foster parents try to transport them to their old school until a permanent placement is found. Children in foster care qualify for free lunch at school, but after-school care must be taken up with the individual caseworker. They do not routinely pay for any child care expenses, but in some cases they make exceptions. Good luck!
