1999 SESSION
HB 1778 Persons to whom public schools shall be free.
Introduced by: Richard H. Black | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Persons to whom public schools shall be free. Revises the statute controlling who is entitled to free public education in the school divisions of the Commonwealth by adding those persons of school age whose parents are unable to care for them who are living within the school division, not solely for school purposes, with another person who resides in the school division and is acting in loco parentis pursuant to placement of the school-age person for adoption by an authorized person or entity. Current law addresses the situation in which a person is living with a natural parent or a parent by legal adoption; however, when the parents are unable to care for a child, the child will only be entitled to free public education while living, not solely for school purposes, with another person who resides in the school division who is the court-appointed guardian or has legal custody of the child.
