Letter from Legal Aid of North Carolina, Inc., to Attorneys in North Carolina

"ACS is hoping to partner with Departments of Social Services statewide to help the children they serve obtain necessary educational services. As you are aware, children who require assistance from DSS often have wide ranging issues which can create problems in many areas of their lives. LANC attorneys in 16 offices across the state are available to provide free, high-quality legal advice and representation to students who are: a) from low-income families; and b) U.S. citizens. Children who are in foster care or otherwise in state custody will almost always qualify for assistance from LANC without reference to their biological family’s economic status."
