The Education Continuity for Students in the Care of D.C. Amendment Act of 2025 seeks to improve educational stability for students in the District of Columbia's care by amending existing laws related to educational placements and transitions. The bill establishes definitions for educational placements, mandates that students returning from placements be enrolled in appropriate settings within two days, and outlines the responsibilities of transition teams in developing transition plans. It also requires local education agencies (LEAs) to designate points of contact to facilitate timely enrollment and access to educational services.

Additionally, the bill amends the State Education Office Establishment Act of 2000, requiring the Office of the State Superintendent for Education (OSSE) to create a uniform course catalog and a standardized transcript evaluation procedure for students transferring into LEAs. Starting in the 2026-2027 school year, LEAs must adopt a transparent procedure for evaluating transcripts based on OSSE's catalog, ensuring that credits from outside the District are honored. The legislation also emphasizes the need for collaboration among agencies to share student records and mandates annual updates on the implementation and impact of the Act.
