AI Summary
This bill allows children in the custody of the secretary of the Department for Children and Families (DCF) to attend school in any school district, regardless of where they live, and also permits them to remain in their original school, known as the "school of origin." It mandates that when a child's placement changes, their educational records must be transferred promptly between school districts, with a strict deadline of two business days after notification. Furthermore, if a child remains in their school of origin, the bill requires the DCF secretary and the affected school districts to collaborate on a transportation plan to ensure the child can get to and from school, considering various factors like the child's needs and available transportation options. The bill also clarifies that school districts cannot deny or delay a child's enrollment based on missing records and defines "business day" for these record transfer purposes.
