Summary

The bill forces any public, charter, or special school to place a foster‑care student in school within two (actually three) school business days after a parent or legal custodian submits a completed enrollment form. It also revises definitions of school systems, education records, and school days, adds reporting and corrective‑action requirements for non‑compliance, and expands inclusive post‑secondary education (IPSE) grant provisions for students with intellectual disabilities. The changes aim to reduce enrollment delays for vulnerable children and clarify record‑keeping and funding rules.
