§ 125A.17 — Legal Residence of a Child With a Disability Placed in a Foster Facility

Plain-Language Summary

When a child with a disability lives in a foster home, their legal residence for school purposes is where the foster home is located.

Practical Notes
A foster child with a disability gets special education from the district where the foster home is, not the district where their parents live.
