If your school does not accomodate, the foster child may have to remain in public school. I beleive it is illegal to keep your child out of school for the rest of the year. I would let the foster child have one week to adjust before sending them to school. Otherwise, they may get behind academically and they are probably already behind. If you are really stuck on a private school like I am, maybe home schooling might be an option. Otherwise, if you make the child change schools at the beginning of the new school year, it might be upsetting. This foster child has been through so many changes already. As for the foster child being jelous of your bio child attending private school, I don't have a guess. Good luck
