1 Senate Substitute for Amendment (412232) (with title
2 amendment)
3
4 Delete everything after the enacting clause
5 and insert:
6 Section 1. Paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of section
7 39.0016, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
8 39.0016 Education of abused, neglected, and abandoned
9 children; agency agreements; children having or suspected of
10 having a disability.—
11 (2) AGENCY AGREEMENTS.—
12 (b) The department shall enter into agreements with
13 district school boards or other local educational entities
14 regarding education and related services for children known to
15 the department who are of school age and children known to the
16 department who are younger than school age but who would
17 otherwise qualify for services from the district school board.
18 Such agreements shall include, but are not limited to:
19 1. A requirement that the department shall:
20 a. Ensure Enroll children known to the department are
21 enrolled in school or in the best educational setting that meets
22 the needs of the child. The agreement shall provide for
23 continuing the enrollment of a child known to the department at
24 the same school of origin when, if possible if it is in the best
25 interest of the child, with the goal of minimal avoiding
26 disruption of education.
27 b. Notify the school and school district in which a child
28 known to the department is enrolled of the name and phone number
29 of the child known to the department caregiver and caseworker
30 for child safety purposes.
31 c. Establish a protocol for the department to share
32 information about a child known to the department with the
33 school district, consistent with the Family Educational Rights
34 and Privacy Act, since the sharing of information will assist
35 each agency in obtaining education and related services for the
36 benefit of the child. The protocol must require the district
37 school boards or other local educational entities to access the
38 department’s Florida Safe Families Network to obtain information
39 about children known to the department, consistent with the
40 Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. s.
41 1232g.
42 d. Notify the school district of the department’s case
43 planning for a child known to the department, both at the time
44 of plan development and plan review. Within the plan development
45 or review process, the school district may provide information
46 regarding the child known to the department if the school
47 district deems it desirable and appropriate.
48 e. Show no prejudice against out-of-home caregivers who
49 desire to educate at home any children placed in their home
50 through the child welfare system.
51 2. A requirement that the district school board shall:
52 a. Provide the department with a general listing of the
53 services and information available from the district school
54 board to facilitate educational access for a child known to the
55 department.
56 b. Identify all educational and other services provided by
57 the school and school district which the school district
58 believes are reasonably necessary to meet the educational needs
59 of a child known to the department.
60 c. Determine whether transportation is available for a
61 child known to the department when such transportation will
62 avoid a change in school assignment due to a change in
63 residential placement. Recognizing that continued enrollment in
64 the same school throughout the time the child known to the
65 department is in out-of-home care is preferable unless
66 enrollment in the same school would be unsafe or otherwise
67 impractical, the department, the district school board, and the
68 Department of Education shall assess the availability of
69 federal, charitable, or grant funding for such transportation.
70 d. Provide individualized student intervention or an
71 individual educational plan when a determination has been made
72 through legally appropriate criteria that intervention services
73 are required. The intervention or individual educational plan
74 must include strategies to enable the child known to the
75 department to maximize the attainment of educational goals.
76 3. A requirement that the department and the district
77 school board shall cooperate in accessing the services and
78 supports needed for a child known to the department who has or
79 is suspected of having a disability to receive an appropriate
80 education consistent with the Individuals with Disabilities
81 Education Act and state implementing laws, rules, and
82 assurances. Coordination of services for a child known to the
83 department who has or is suspected of having a disability may
84 include:
85 a. Referral for screening.
86 b. Sharing of evaluations between the school district and
87 the department where appropriate.
88 c. Provision of education and related services appropriate
89 for the needs and abilities of the child known to the
90 department.
91 d. Coordination of services and plans between the school
92 and the residential setting to avoid duplication or conflicting
93 service plans.
94 e. Appointment of a surrogate parent, consistent with the
95 Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and pursuant to
96 subsection (3), for educational purposes for a child known to
97 the department who qualifies.
98 f. For each child known to the department 14 years of age
99 and older, transition planning by the department and all
100 providers, including the department’s independent living program
101 staff, to meet the requirements of the local school district for
102 educational purposes.
103 Section 2. Subsection (6) is added to section 39.812,
104 Florida Statutes, to read:
105 39.812 Postdisposition relief; petition for adoption.—
106 (6)(a) Once a child’s adoption is finalized, the community
107 based care lead agency is required to make a reasonable effort
108 to make contact with the adoptive family either in person or by
109 telephone 1 year after the date of finalization of the adoption
110 as a post-adoption service. If the family has relocated to
111 another state, the required contact may occur by telephone. For
112 the purposes of this subsection, the term “reasonable effort”
113 means the exercise of reasonable diligence and care by the

115 adoptive family. At a minimum, the community-based care lead
116 agency must document the following:

118 lead agency to contact the adoptive family and whether those
119 attempts were successful;
120 2. The types of post-adoption services that were requested
121 by the adoptive family and whether those services were provided
122 by the community-based care lead agency; and
123 3. Any feedback received by the community-based care lead
124 agency from the adoptive family related to the quality or
125 effectiveness of services provided; and
126 (b) The community-based care lead agency must annually
127 report to the department on the outcomes achieved and
128 recommendations for improvement under this subsection.
129 Section 3. Subsection (2) of section 409.145, Florida
130 Statutes, is amended to read:
131 409.145 Care of children; quality parenting; “reasonable
132 and prudent parent” standard.—The child welfare system of the
133 department shall operate as a coordinated community-based system
134 of care which empowers all caregivers for children in foster
135 care to provide quality parenting, including approving or
136 disapproving a child’s participation in activities based on the
137 caregiver’s assessment using the “reasonable and prudent parent”
138 standard.
139 (2) QUALITY PARENTING.—A child in foster care shall be
140 placed only with a caregiver who has the ability to care for the
141 child, is willing to accept responsibility for providing care,
142 and is willing and able to learn about and be respectful of the
143 child’s culture, religion and ethnicity, special physical or
144 psychological needs, any circumstances unique to the child, and
145 family relationships. The department, the community-based care
146 lead agency, and other agencies shall provide such caregiver
147 with all available information necessary to assist the caregiver
148 in determining whether he or she is able to appropriately care
149 for a particular child.
150 (a) Roles and responsibilities of caregivers.—A caregiver
151 shall:
152 1. Participate in developing the case plan for the child
153 and his or her family and work with others involved in his or
154 her care to implement this plan. This participation includes the
155 caregiver’s involvement in all team meetings or court hearings
156 related to the child’s care.
157 2. Complete all training needed to improve skills in
158 parenting a child who has experienced trauma due to neglect,
159 abuse, or separation from home, to meet the child’s special
160 needs, and to work effectively with child welfare agencies, the
161 court, the schools, and other community and governmental
162 agencies.
163 3. Respect and support the child’s ties to members of his
164 or her biological family and assist the child in maintaining
165 allowable visitation and other forms of communication.
166 4. Effectively advocate for the child in the caregiver’s
167 care with the child welfare system, the court, and community
168 agencies, including the school, child care, health and mental
169 health providers, and employers.
170 5. Participate fully in the child’s medical, psychological,
171 and dental care as the caregiver would for his or her biological
172 child.
173 6. Support the child’s educational school success by
174 participating in school activities and meetings associated with
175 the child’s school or other educational setting, including
176 Individual Education Plan meetings and meetings with an
177 educational surrogate if one has been appointed, assisting with
178 school assignments, supporting tutoring programs, meeting with
179 teachers and working with an educational surrogate if one has
180 been appointed, and encouraging the child’s participation in

182 a. Maintaining educational stability for a child while in
183 out-of-home care by allowing the child to remain in the school
184 or educational setting he or she attended before entry into out
185 of-home care is the first priority, unless it is not in the best
186 interest of the child.
187 b. If it is not in the best interest of the child to remain
188 in his or her school or educational setting upon entry into out
189 of-home care, the caregiver must work with the case manager,
190 guardian ad litem, teachers and guidance counselors, and
191 educational surrogate if one has been appointed, to determine
192 the best educational setting for the child. Those settings may
193 include a public school that is not the school of origin, a
194 private school pursuant to s. 1002.42, virtual education
195 programs pursuant to s. 1002.45, or education at home pursuant
196 to s. 1002.41.
197 7. Work in partnership with other stakeholders to obtain
198 and maintain records that are important to the child’s well
199 being, including child resource records, medical records, school
200 records, photographs, and records of special events and
201 achievements.

206 of the requirements and benefits of the Road-to-Independence
207 Program.
208 10. Work to enable the child in the caregiver’s care to
209 establish and maintain naturally occurring mentoring
210 relationships.
211 (b) Roles and responsibilities of the department, the

214 agency staff shall:
215 1. Include a caregiver in the development and
216 implementation of the case plan for the child and his or her
217 family. The caregiver shall be authorized to participate in all
218 team meetings or court hearings related to the child’s care and
219 future plans. The caregiver’s participation shall be facilitated
220 through timely notification, an inclusive process, and
221 alternative methods for participation for a caregiver who cannot
222 be physically present.
223 2. Develop and make available to the caregiver the
224 information, services, training, and support that the caregiver
225 needs to improve his or her skills in parenting children who
226 have experienced trauma due to neglect, abuse, or separation
227 from home, to meet these children’s special needs, and to
228 advocate effectively with child welfare agencies, the courts,
229 schools, and other community and governmental agencies.
230 3. Provide the caregiver with all information related to
231 services and other benefits that are available to the child.
232 4. Show no prejudice against a caregiver who desires to
233 educate at home any children placed in his or her home through
234 the child welfare system.
235 (c) Transitions.—
236 1. Once a caregiver accepts the responsibility of caring
237 for a child, the child will be removed from the home of that
238 caregiver only if:
239 a. The caregiver is clearly unable to safely or legally
240 care for the child;
241 b. The child and his or her biological family are
242 reunified;
243 c. The child is being placed in a legally permanent home
244 pursuant to the case plan or a court order; or
245 d. The removal is demonstrably in the child’s best
246 interest.
247 2. In the absence of an emergency, if a child leaves the
248 caregiver’s home for a reason provided under subparagraph 1.,
249 the transition must be accomplished according to a plan that
250 involves cooperation and sharing of information among all
251 persons involved, respects the child’s developmental stage and
252 psychological needs, ensures the child has all of his or her
253 belongings, allows for a gradual transition from the caregiver’s
254 home and, if possible, for continued contact with the caregiver
255 after the child leaves.
256 (d) Information sharing.—Whenever a foster home or
257 residential group home assumes responsibility for the care of a
258 child, the department and any additional providers shall make
259 available to the caregiver as soon as is practicable all
260 relevant information concerning the child. Records and
261 information that are required to be shared with caregivers

281 caregivers in residential group homes shall meet the same
282 education, training, and background and other screening
283 requirements as foster parents.

286 409.1662 Children within the child welfare system; adoption
287 incentive program.—
288 (1) PURPOSE.—The purpose of the adoption incentive program
289 is to advance the state’s achievement of permanency, stability,
290 and well-being in living arrangements for children in foster
291 care who cannot be reunited with their families. The department
292 shall establish the adoption incentive program to award
293 incentive payment to community-based care lead agencies, as

295 involved in the adoption process for achievement of specific and
296 measurable adoption performance standards that lead to
297 permanency, stability, and well-being for children.
298 (2) ADMINISTRATION OF THE PROGRAM.—
299 (a) The department shall conduct a comprehensive baseline
300 assessment of the performance of lead agencies and providers
301 related to adoption of children from foster care. The assessment
302 shall compile annual data for each of the most recent 5 years
303 for which data is available. The department shall update the
304 assessment annually. At a minimum, the assessment shall
305 identify:
306 1. The number of families attempting to adopt children from
307 foster care and the number of families completing the adoption
308 process.
309 2. The number of children eligible for adoption and the
310 number of children whose adoptions were finalized.
311 3. The amount of time eligible children waited for
312 adoption.
313 4. The number of adoptions that resulted in disruption or
314 dissolution and the subset of those disrupted adoptions that
315 were preventable by the community-based care lead agency or the
316 subcontracted provider.
317 5. The time taken to complete each phase of the adoption
318 process.
319 6. The expenditures made to recruit adoptive homes and a
320 description of any initiative to improve adoption performance or
321 streamline the adoption process.
322 7. The results of any specific effort to gather feedback
323 from prospective adoptive parents, adoptive parents, children in
324 the child welfare system, adoptees, and other stakeholders.
325 8. The use of evidence-based, evidence-informed, promising,
326 and innovative practices in recruitment, orientation, and
327 preparation of appropriate adoptive families, matching children
328 with families, supporting children during the adoption process,
329 and providing post-adoptive support.
330 (b) Using the information from the baseline assessment, the
331 department shall annually negotiate outcome-based agreements
332 with lead agencies and their subcontracted providers. The
333 agreements must establish measurable outcome targets to increase
334 the number of adoptions resulting in permanent placements that
335 enhance children’s well-being. The agreements will define the
336 method for measuring performance and for determining the level
337 of performance required to earn the incentive payment, and the
338 amount of the incentive payment which may be earned for each
339 target.
340 (3) INCENTIVE PAYMENTS.—
341 (a) The department shall allocate incentive payments to
342 performance improvement targets in a manner that ensures that
343 total payments do not exceed the amount appropriated for this
344 purpose.
345 (b) The department shall ensure that the amount of the
346 incentive payments are proportionate to the value of the
347 performance improvement.
348 (4) REPORT.—The department shall report annually by
349 November 15 to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and
350 the Speaker of the House of Representatives on the negotiated
351 targets set for, outcomes achieved by, and incentive payments
352 made to each community-based care lead agency during the
353 previous fiscal year. The department shall also report on the
354 program enhancements made by each community-based care lead
355 agency and its subcontractors to achieve negotiated outcomes
356 under this section.
