A. Each LEA shall establish a policy to ensure that a student who is in foster care pursuant to placement through the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) shall be allowed to remain enrolled in the public school in which the student was enrolled at the time he or she entered foster care for the duration of the child's stay in the custody of the state or until he completes the highest grade offered at the school, if DCFS determines that remaining in the school is in the best interest of the student.

B.
