AI Summary
This bill aims to provide educational stability for vulnerable children under the care and custody of the Department of Children and Families (DCF). It creates two new roles within the department: an education manager and area office-based education coordinators. The education manager will develop and oversee DCF's education policies, monitor relevant laws and resources, and advise DCF leadership.
