Bill overview
This bill proposes to establish an ‘electronic backpack’ – a secure, digital system – to manage the educational records of children in foster care. Currently, these records are often fragmented and difficult to access, creating challenges for foster parents, caseworkers, and the children themselves. The goal is to create a centralized, accessible, and up-to-date record of a foster child’s academic history and progress. This would improve coordination and support for these vulnerable students.
