This is an informative training that you must take if you would like to be able to hold the educational rights for your assigned CASA child. Sometimes parents are not present or able to advocate for the child’s education. If that is the case, there must be one person who holds the legal educational rights who can do so. All CASA's can advocate for their child educationally, but it is the person who holds education rights who has the primary authority to made educational decisions and sign documents.
We encourage all advocates to take this training. (You may take this training yet decide not to hold educational rights if asked – no obligation!)
You will receive 2 hours of continuing education.
