Pupils: foster children: special education.

Existing law requires a pupil who is placed in a licensed children's institution or foster family home to attend programs operated by the local educational agency unless the pupil is entitled to remain in his or her school of origin, the pupil has an individualized education program requiring placement elsewhere, or the pupil's parent or guardian, or other person holding the right to make educational decisions for the pupil, determines that it is in the best interests of the pupil to be placed in another educational program.
