Registering Children in Out-of-Home Placements for School
The Commissioner of the Department of Human Services and the Acting Commissioner of the Department of Education have launched a collaborative partnership of two primary state government agencies serving children to promote the efficient and prompt registration of children into school when those children enter out-of-home placement. Information on school registration of children in out of home placement has been published in an easy-to-understand brochure that is being distributed to public schools throughout New Jersey as well as to case managers of children receiving services from the Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS) and the division of Child Behavioral Health Services. Resource families and other out of home caregivers will also receive a copy of the brochure.
