Florida Child Welfare Case Manager Certification Practice Exam

What must placement decisions prioritize regarding a child's schooling?

1. Availability of extracurricular activities

2. Keeping the child in the same school if possible

3. The prestige of the school

4. Proximity to the service provider’s office

The correct answer is: Keeping the child in the same school if possible

Placement decisions must prioritize keeping the child in the same school if possible. This is important for the child's stability and continuity in their academic and social environment. Option A is incorrect because while extracurricular activities can be a bonus, they should not be the deciding factor in school placement. Option C is incorrect because the prestige of a school does not necessarily guarantee a better education or learning experience for the child. Option D is incorrect because proximity to the service provider's office should not be the main consideration when making placement decisions for a child's schooling. It is more important to prioritize the child's needs and well-being in terms of their academic and social development.
