Education (Children)

This Senate resolution endorses the creation of a state plan to support kinship caregivers, who are grandparents or other relatives raising children when the parents cannot. The bill directs the Idaho Caregiver Alliance to develop a comprehensive blueprint that coordinates resources across public, private, and community sectors to better assist these families. Key provisions include improving caregiver training, expanding access to respite care, integrating support into education and healthcare systems, and establishing data collection methods to track outcomes. The resolution aims to strengthen family stability by ensuring kinship caregivers receive the necessary resources to care for children effectively.
