Education Continuity for Students in the Care of D.C. Amendment Act of 2025
This bill ensures students in DC's care system - such as those in foster care, group homes, or juvenile facilities - can maintain consistent education when moving between placements. It requires the Office of the State Superintendent (OSSE) to create a uniform course catalog, implement flexible graduation waivers for disrupted schooling, and standardize transcript evaluations to transfer credits smoothly. The Students in the Care of D.C. Coordinating Committee must regularly review the bill's impact on student outcomes. These changes aim to prevent educational gaps during transitions, directly affecting students, DCPS, and local education agencies.
