Programs are considered year to year and should have exit dates when students leave the school, are no longer in the program or end of the year (exception is Multilingual Learners and Special Education) program records will be required each year to identify the student is still participating in the program and if no exit date is provided IDOE considers the program closed with the reporting year's ODS.
With foster care, If parent rights are not terminated then COLS remains with the parents. COLS follows the parents, not the students.
