Every agency that places a child in a licensed children’s institution shall notify the local educational agency at the time a pupil is placed in a licensed children’s institution. As part of that notification, the placing agency shall provide any available information on immediate past educational placements to facilitate prompt transfer of records and appropriate educational placement. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit prompt educational placement prior to notification.
