K.K-M., ET AL. VS. BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE CITY OF GLOUCESTER CITY, CAMDEN COUNTY (COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION) (A-1158-18T1)

Because the Kinship Legal Guardianship Act, N.J.S.A. 3B:12A-1 to -7, provides a permanent home for children, we affirm the decision of the Commissioner of Education that the children must now go to school where their kinship legal guardian lives. Neither the educational stability law, N.J.S.A. 30:4C-26; N.J.S.A. 18A:7B-12(a)(2), nor the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 20 U.S.C. §§ 1400 to 1482, allows the children to remain enrolled in the school district where their biological mother is located.
