The latest version of Bill SB 775 adds a provision requiring kinship care providers or parents to notify schools within 30 days if a kinship care arrangement ends. It also allows schools to require written verification from local social services to ensure that the arrangement is in the best interest of the child, enhancing proper oversight.
