House Bill 1709 amends the Education Code to require a public school district to provide written notice to a child's educational decision‑maker and caseworker of the appointment of a surrogate parent for a child who is homeless or in substitute care for purposes of special education decision‑making. The bill revises certain required actions of the Department of Family and Protective Services and the district court on the basis of a determination by a school district that a court‑appointed surrogate parent is not properly performing the duties of surrogacy.
