NY S08370

Clarifies that for preschool children with disabilities in foster care, the school district of origin or current location is responsible for evaluation and placement, subject to a best interest determination under existing education law

Redefines "municipality of origin" to specify where a child's parent or guardian resided at the time of foster care placement, when homelessness occurred, or when residential care began

Adds new definition of "school district of origin" as the district where the child was attending or entitled to attend public preschool when foster care, homelessness, or residential care began

Shifts financial responsibility so that when the municipality of current location serves as municipality of record, the state reimburses 100% of approved costs, offset by a local contribution from the municipality of origin

Takes effect 90 days after becoming law
