Bill overview
This bill would establish a secure, electronic system – often referred to as an ‘electronic backpack’ – to store and manage the educational records of children in foster care. Currently, these records are often fragmented and difficult to access, creating challenges for foster children, their caseworkers, and schools. The Department of Children and Families would be responsible for creating and maintaining this digital repository, ensuring that all relevant educational information is readily available. This aims to improve coordination and support for foster youth’s academic success.
