Unless the court has limited DFPS’s rights and duties to make education decisions on behalf of the child, the caseworker must, within five business days after the adversary hearing, provide the court with the name and contact information of:
• the person DFPS has designated to make educational decisions on the child’s behalf (the education decision maker); and
• the person assigned to serve as the child’s surrogate parent for purposes of making decisions about special education services, if applicable.
If another person is designated to make educational decisions or assigned to serve as a surrogate parent, the caseworker must include the updated information in the permanency progress report.
See 15371 Designating an Education Decision-Maker.
