Regions must ensure that when a child or youth is without placement and is staying in an alternate location, the CPS caseworker enrolls the child or youth in school no later than the second school day of the temporary alternative placement.

The caseworker must make every effort to allow the child or youth to remain in the school he or she was attending before the placement disruption. If the child or youth cannot attend the same school, the caseworker must make every effort to allow him or her to remain in the same school district.

The caseworker should contact the regional education specialist for assistance in this circumstance.
