Texas CASA’s Educational Advocacy Guidebook is a comprehensive resource that explores the intersection of the school and child welfare systems, empowering volunteers with the information and tools required to advocate effectively on behalf of their CASA child’s education. This guidebook is specifically designed to equip CASA volunteers with the necessary knowledge and resources to identify and address education-related challenges faced by the children they support.

The Second Edition of the guidebook, updated in 2018 to incorporate legislative and policy changes since its initial release in 2015, can be downloaded for easy access below. Additionally, volunteers can also benefit from the Guía de bolsillo de la defensa de la educación, a convenient tri-fold resource that fits in a wallet, providing quick and handy assistance when advocating for a child’s educational needs.
