title: "Juveniles: educational decisions."
description: "Existing law authorizes the court to limit the right of a parent to make educational decisions for a dependent child or ward of the court under specific circumstances. If the court limits a parent's right to make educational decisions for his or her child, existing law authorizes the court to temporarily appoint a responsible adult to make educational decisions for the child. Under existing law, if the court cannot identify a responsible adult to fulfill that role while dependency proceedings are pending, the court may make educational decisions for the child, except as specified. After a child has been adjudged a dependent child or a ward of the juvenile court, if the court cannot identify a responsible adult to make educational decisions for the child, the court is required to refer the child to the local educational agency for appointment of a surrogate parent if the child has special education needs. If appointment of a surrogate parent is not warranted because the child does not have special education needs, and the child does not have a foster parent, the court may make educational decisions for the child."

# California AB 2060 (20112012) — Juveniles: educational decisions.
Existing law authorizes the court to limit the right of a parent to make educational decisions for a dependent child or ward of the court under specific circumstances. If the court limits a parent's right to make educational decisions for his or her child, existing law authorizes the court to temporarily appoint a responsible adult to make educational decisions for the child. Under existing law, if the court cannot identify a responsible adult to fulfill that role while dependency proceedings are pending, the court may make educational decisions for the child, except as specified. After a child has been adjudged a dependent child or a ward of the juvenile court, if the court cannot identify a responsible adult to make educational decisions for the child, the court is required to refer the child to the local educational agency for appointment of a surrogate parent if the child has special education needs. If appointment of a surrogate parent is not warranted because the child does not have special education needs, and the child does not have a foster parent, the court may make educational decisions for the child.
