State Placed Students

State Placed Students

For definitions and Vermont Statutes, please refer to this article.

When we learn that a student has been placed in state custody...we need to do the following in Powerschool right away. 
  1. Look up the student's record.
  2. Go to Admin Info page.
  3. Under State Census Data Items, check the State-Placed Student checkbox.
  4. Go to the Contacts tab. Update the records here and ensure the order is as follows:

Caseworker - include name and Agency. DCF is acceptable.

Foster  parent

Mother or Father. (be sure to enter custody  and "lives with" information)

Mother or Father  (be sure to enter custody  and "lives with" information)

Please be clear as to who lives with the student. There has to be one contact with the correct Lives With option checked (part time or full time.)

Select the State Placed box on the Administrative Info page under State Census items. 

Go to the Addresses and Names screen. Be sure that the student's address on the Addresses and Names tab is where he/she is living. 

Ensure that all the check boxes in any and all contact records are correct. Specifically, Lives with student, can pick up, has custody, etc. These are super important.

If we find that any information has changed for a state-placed student, this information should be updated immediately in PowerSchool.

Any changes in students' state-placed or custody status should be communicated immediately to the principal, administrative assistant and any other appropriate individuals in addition to making these changes in PowerSchool.
