Each school district and open-enrollment charter school in Texas is required to appoint at least one employee to act as a foster care liaison officer.

​

DESIGNATED DISTRICT LIAISON

​

The liaison facilitates the enrollment in or transfer to a public or open-enrollment charter school of any child in the district or area served by the charter school who is in the conservatorship of the state (TEC § 33.904).

​

The 83rd Texas Legislative session added open-enrollment charter schools to an existing law that required districts to designate foster care liaisons. New legislation from that session also required that both districts and charters to submit their foster care liaison’s name and contact information to TEA.
