What’s in it
This bill provides that in determining temporary custody orders or the award of joint legal custody for a minor child, if the parents are in disagreement over the minor child’s educational setting, the court is to consider the educational setting of the minor child. In the case of awarding joint legal custody, the court is also to include a provision in the order regarding the educational setting of the minor child. There is a rebuttable presumption that it is in the best interest of the minor child to remain in the educational setting in which the minor child was enrolled during the immediately preceding school year.
Read the full explanation
The bill also defines “educational setting”. The bill directs that all orders relating to the custody of a child shall specify the rights and responsibilities of each parent relative to the minor child’s educational setting and specifies the minimum rights and responsibilities to be addressed in the order. The bill requires that any parent with legal custody of the child is to provide a copy of the order to the educational setting and to the school district of the child to whom the order applies.
