Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 362.2 — Dependent Children—Judgments and Orders is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
It is the intent of the Legislature that if a placement out-of-home is necessary pursuant to an individualized education program, that this placement be as near the child’s home as possible, unless it is not in the best interest of the child. When the court determines that it is the best interest of the child to be placed out-of-state, the court shall read into the record that in-state alternatives have been explored and that they cannot meet the needs of the child, and the court shall state on the record the reasons for the out-of-state placement.
