What if many applicants from one county are accepted for admission to school?
The purpose of this program is to strengthen public child welfare. Thus, there is a limit to the number of educational leaves any given county can grant at one time. This may be especially evident in smaller counties. County administrators have the authority to establish a county policy for prioritizing applicants, using criteria such as seniority. Persons who have been accepted by a school, but do not receive county approval to attend in the year accepted, may defer their admission for a reasonable time. This is determined by the school. Persons deferring school admission must reapply to the CWEL program and secure county agency approval prior to entering school.
