(A) General Rule. Any order resulting in the removal of the juvenile from home or a change in placement shall address the educational stability of the juvenile.

(B) School of Origin. Subject to statute, a juvenile removed from home shall remain in their school of origin unless the court finds remaining in the school of origin is not in the juvenile's best interest or protective of the community. If the court finds that it is not in the best interest for the juvenile or protective of the community to remain in the school of origin, then the court may order the juvenile to be enrolled in another school that best meets the juvenile's needs.

(C) Another School. Subject to statute, if a court orders the juvenile to be enrolled in another school pursuant to paragraph (B), then the juvenile shall attend a public school unless the court finds that a public school is not in the best interest of the juvenile or protective of the community.
