AI Summary
This bill establishes a new program within the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (referred to as the "Cabinet") to provide tutoring and academic assistance to children in foster care. The program aims to improve graduation rates and learning stability for these children by coordinating services between school districts and community organizations. To fund these efforts, a "foster child tutoring and academic assistance trust fund" will be created in the State Treasury, which can receive various forms of financial support. Importantly, any money remaining in this fund at the end of a fiscal year will not be lost but will carry over to the next year, ensuring continuous support for the program.
