4. Next Meeting Agenda Items
Speaker(s):
Committee Chair
Agenda Item Type:
Information Item
Discussion:
Brad Best (Heartland Community Schools) is working on a LB759 for DHHS on foster kids. This bill will allow more communications prior to student entering a school district. There are some questions/concerns with this bill.
From Jean Anderson - One measure introduced today, LB 759, was introduced by Senator Mark Kolterman on behalf of NCSA. LB 759 relates to communication between DHHS and school districts. Currently, there is no required consultation with a district from DHHS prior to placing a child within a district's boundaries. While the department's own placement letter states that "it is in (the child)'s educational best interest to attend" a particular school district, the department does not consult with the school to determine the availability of services or consider many other educational factors in making this decision. LB 759 was brought to NCSA by Mr. Brad Best, Superintendent, Heartland Community Schools. |
