Appointing a Surrogate Parent (Educational Decision-Maker) for Children with Disabilities in Foster Care Workgroup on Improving Education For Children in Foster Care APPOINTING A SURROGATE PARENT (EDUCATIONAL DECISION-MAKER) FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES IN FOSTER CARE Background Children in care may not have a consistent adult to advocate for educational services and support educational goals the way a parent typically would. For children with (or suspected of having) disabilities, the need for an educational decision-maker is even more acute because federal law specifies that only certain individuals can act as a “parent” to make special education decisions. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (AIDEA@) allows Dependency Courts to determine the educational decision-maker for children under their jurisdiction with, or suspected of having, a disability. Not having a legally authorized educational Table of Contents decision-maker can hold up evaluations and appropriate special education services.

The Children’s Legal Services Workgroup to Improve Education of Children in Foster Care is a collaboration of legal services organizations who receive funding from The Florida Bar Foundation’s Children’s Legal Services Grants Program. We are grateful to The Florida Bar Foundation for their support. The workgroup participants are: Rebecca Bell (Bay Area Legal Services), Mary K Brennan (Jacksonville Legal Aid, Inc.), Barbara Briggs and Amy Genet (Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach County), Carsandra Buie and Elizabeth Swanson (Community Legal Services of Mid- Florida), Rochelle Marcus (Legal Aid Service of Broward County, Inc.), Andrea Moore (Forida’s Children First), Patrice Moore (Public Defender Office of Pinellas County), Lissie Salazar (Legal Services of Greater Miami, Inc.), Jodi Siegel (Southern Legal Counsel), Kele Williams (University of Miami School of Law Children and Youth Law Clinic) and Charlie Thurston (Brevard County Legal Aid). For more information, please contact the group’s co-chairs Andrea Moore ([email protected] or 954-796-0860) or Kele Williams ([email protected] or (305) 284-3123). Why is it important to Designate a “Parent” to Make Education Decisions for Children with Disabilities? IDEA is a federal law that mandates that children with, or suspected of having, a disability are identified, evaluated and provided individualized educational services to meet their unique needs. Once a child is found eligible for special education services (in Florida called exceptional student education), an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is developed by the child=s parents, teachers, psychologist and other school officials to identify learning goals and educational services for the child. IDEA is premised on strong parental participation. A parent requests and consents to evaluations, services and placements. Parents also have the right to receive school records; participate as an IEP team member; receive progress reports; receive notice of proposed changes to the child=s IEP; request an Independent Educational Evaluation; and commence administrative and court proceedings to challenge school district decisions on identification, evaluation, placement or the provision of a free appropriate public education. It is, therefore, critical that every child have someone who acts as a Aparent@ for purposes of special education. Who Is a AParent@ under IDEA? Under IDEA, the following people can act as a Aparent@: (a) A biological or adoptive parent; (b) A foster parent; (c) A guardian with authority to act as the child=s parent or who has the authority to make education decisions for the child (but not the State if the child is a ward of the state); (d) A person acting in the place of a biological or adoptive parent (including a family member) with whom the child lives, or someone legally responsible for the child=s welfare; or (e) A surrogate parent 20 U.S.C. ' 1401(23); 34 C.F.R. ' 300.30. When Should a Court Designate an Educational Decision-Maker? Dependency courts have the authority to designate a specific person in categories (a) through (d) above to be the educational decision-maker for a child, or to appoint a surrogate parent. At shelter, disposition and every judicial review, the Court should ensure that an appropriate person is acting as the child’s parent for special education issues. The steps below and the flowchart on page 4 will help you decide when to appoint a surrogate parent. Step 1: Can the Biological/Adoptive Parents Serve as the Parent? First the Court should determine whether the biological or adoptive parent can act as the educational “parent.” The IDEA regulations provide that a biological or adoptive parent who is Aattempting to act as the parent,@ is presumed to be the parent unless the person does not have legal authority to make educational decisions for the child. 34 C.F.R. ' 300.30(b)(1). If the case plan goal is reunification, the Court should consider empowering parents to actively participate in their child=s education. It may even be appropriate to include education-related tasks in the case plan and to refer the parent for services to educate the parent on how to meet the child=s special needs. If, however, the Court finds that it is not in a child=s best interests for the biological parent to make educational decisions, the Court may issue an order limiting the biological parent=s right to make education decisions and designating someone else as the educational decision-maker. 2 Step 2: Can a Foster Parent, Guardian or Caregiver Serve as the Parent? Next, the Court should decide if someone else meets IDEA’s definition of parent. If the biological or adoptive parent=s whereabouts are unknown, parental rights have been terminated or the Court finds that it is not in the child=s best interests for that person to make education decisions, the Court should ensure that someone else is acting as a Aparent.@ The Dependency Court has the authority to identify a foster parent; legal guardian or guardian with authority to make education decisions; or other person in a parental role with whom the child lives, such as a grandparent or other relative to act as a parent for special education purposes. 34 C.F.R. ' 300.30(b)(2). It should be noted that a court order is not necessary for the school to recognize a foster parent, legal guardian or custodian as the parent. There may, however, be certain circumstances when it is helpful for the Court to issue an order designating one of these people as the educational decision- maker. For example, the Court should specify who is the parent in the following situations: ¾ the biological parent wants to make educational decisions but the Court decides it is not in the child’s best interests ¾ more than one person wants to act as a child=s parent and meets the definition of parent under IDEA ¾ the school is unaware of other people in the child=s life who may qualify as a parent under IDEA ¾ the person to whom the school has been sending notices (for example, a foster parent) is not actively participating in the child=s education. Once the Court issues an order designating a specific person as a parent, then the school must recognize that person as the parent. Step 3: Should a Surrogate Parent be Appointed? If the child has no parent (as defined in IDEA and above) or, after reasonable efforts, the parent cannot be located, then a Dependency Court may appoint a surrogate parent for a child under its jurisdiction. 34 C.F.R. ' 300.519(a); 34 C.F.R. § 300.45. The school district may also appoint a surrogate parent. In most cases, a surrogate parent should be appointed for children who reside in group homes or other non-foster home placements. The Department of Education (DOE) Technical Assistance Paper states that a surrogate parent may be appointed if the child lives with a foster parent but the foster parent does not have a long-term parental relationship with the child or is unwilling or unable to represent the child=s educational interests.

  • Teens in Foster Care and Their Babies
    Teens in Foster Care and Their Babies 2013 If you are a pregnant or parenting teenager in foster care, you may have some questions or concerns. Being a teen parent can be stressful, and the added demands of the foster care system might leave you feeling confused or concerned for your baby’s future. This brochure answers some common questions and explains what your rights are as a pregnant or parenting teen in foster care. Family Planning Teens in foster care have the same right as other teens to obtain advice on birth control, family planning, and pregnancy tests without the consent of anyone else. To get these services, contact Family Planning (800) 942-1054 or Planned Parenthood (800) 576-5544. HIV Testing If you are 12 or older, you can get tested for HIV/AIDS without anyone else’s permission and without giving permission for others to be told. However, if you tell a DCFS social worker that you are HIV+ or have AIDS, the social worker must tell others. What If I Become Pregnant While I’m a Court Dependent? The decision regarding how to handle your pregnancy is yours. You may choose to keep the baby, put the baby up for adoption or have an abortion. Nobody can take this choice away from you – not your parents, relatives, foster parents, your boyfriend and his family, the judge, or your social worker. -1- Who can I talk to If I Need Help Making A Decision About My Pregnancy? If you need information on your choices, your DCFS social worker must give you referrals for family planning counseling.

  • Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Related to the Definitions, Roles, and Responsibilities of Parents, Persons Acting As the Parent of a Child, and Surrogate Parents
    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Related to the Definitions, Roles, and Responsibilities of Parents, Persons Acting as the Parent of a Child, and Surrogate Parents Over the years, the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) and the Department of Children and Families (DCF) have frequently received questions relating to the definitions of “parent,” “person acting as the parent of a child,” and “surrogate parent.” Those definitions are of particular importance when it comes to children under the guardianship of DCF and children with disabilities. A workgroup1 was developed by the two Departments to attempt to respond to those questions which have been most frequently asked. This is not an exhaustive document and it should be noted that both Departments encourage school districts, county departments of social/human services, and tribal child welfare agencies to consult with their agency attorneys. This document does not constitute legal advice from either DCF or DPI. Definition of “Parent” Under the Children’s Code and the Juvenile Justice Code (Wisconsin Statutes): “Parent” means a biological parent, a husband who has consented to the artificial insemination of his wife under s. 891.40, or a parent by adoption. If the child is a non-marital child who is not adopted or whose parents do not subsequently intermarry under s. 767.803, “parent” includes a person acknowledged under s. 767.805 or a substantially similar law of another state or adjudicated to be the biological father. “Parent” does not include any person whose parental rights have been terminated. For purposes of the application of s. 48.028 and the federal Indian Child Welfare Act, 25 USC 1901 to 1963, “parent” means a biological parent, an Indian husband who has consented to the artificial insemination of his wife under s.

  • Helping Connect Children and Youth in Foster Care to Permanent Family and Relationships Through Family Finding and Engagement
    Promising Approaches in Child Welfare: Helping Connect Children and Youth in Foster Care to Permanent Family and Relationships through Family Finding and Engagement September 2010 The importance of permanency for children and youth in foster care Every child and youth who enters the foster care system has a goal of finding a permanent home, also known as “permanency.” The child welfare professionals work to achieve this permanency goal by reunifying the child with their parents or finding another permanent connection, such as adoption or legal guardianship. While permanency is a goal for all children in foster care, recent statistics show a growing trend in the rising number of children “aging out” of the system without a permanent connection to a family. Over 29,000 youths aged out of foster care in 2009, and many of these foster care alumni have to face problems of poverty, lack of health care, limited education, unemployment, homelessness, criminal justice system involvement, and teen pregnancy without the support of permanent families. Outcomes for adolescents in foster care, particularly those who remain in the system and age out at age 18, are not good. These grim outcomes make older youth in foster care all too likely candidates for the Cradle to Prison Pipeline. The challenges older youth face when they age out of foster care are critical and can have harmful outcomes for those who don’t make permanent connections to family. Permanent connections can increase the likelihood that youth will achieve stability and successfully transition to independent adulthood. New reforms and efforts made through family finding can help counteract these obstacles to permanency.

  • Patterns of Foster Care Placement and Family Reunification Following Child
    D ECEMBER 2016 PATTERNS OF FOSTER CARE PLACEMENT AND FAMILY REUNIFICATION FOLLOWING CHILD MALTREATMENT INVESTIGATIONS Overview Some child protective services investigations result in children being placed in foster care to ensure their safety. Family reunification refers to the process of returning children to their family of origin after some time spent in foster care or another out-of-home placement. This research brief examines reunification over the course of three years following a child protective services report. The research brief identifies characteristics of children and families reunified, those who remained reunified at the end of the study, and maltreatment re-reports among children reunified with their families. This analysis is based on longitudinal survey data from the second cohort of the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW II), which is linked to administrative data from the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) and the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS). Key Findings 1. A quarter of all children who were the subject of child maltreatment investigations in 2008 and 2009 (24.6 percent) were placed out-of-home at some point during the 3 years that followed their maltreatment report. 2. Of the children placed out-of-home, half achieved permanency within the study’s 3-year time horizon. Of those children, nearly three quarters (73.3 percent) reached permanency through reunification. 3. Among children who were reunified, 82.7 percent remained reunified at the end of the study. Approximately a quarter (24.6 percent) of reunified children were re-reported to child protective services with an allegation involving maltreatment by a family member.
