If, as a result of dependency, neglect, or abuse, custody of a child is granted to the
cabinet through an emergency, temporary, or permanent court order, the cabinet
shall notify the principal or any assistant principal of the school in which the child is
enrolled, and the school district's director of pupil personnel, of the names of
persons authorized to contact the child at school, in accordance with school
visitation or communication policy, or remove the child from school grounds.
The notification required by this section shall be provided by the Cabinet for Health
and Family Services to the school:
(a) By written notice via electronic mail or facsimile on the day that a court order
is entered and again on any day that a change is made with regard to persons
authorized to contact or remove the child from school. The verbal notification
shall occur on the next school day immediately following the day a court order
is entered or a change is made if the court order or change occurs after the end
of the current school day; and
(b) By electronic mail, facsimile, or hand delivery of a copy of the court order
within ten (10) calendar days following the Cabinet for Health and Family
Services' receipt of the court order of a change of custody or change in contact
or removal authority.
The cabinet's mandate to provide the information required by this section shall
cease when the court order under which the cabinet acts is rescinded or otherwise
expires.
