Can a facility licensed as a foster case by the State of Nevada accept OUT OF STATE CHILDREN as placements?
Would all the kids enrolled be required to be citizens of Nevada?
This seems like a strange "arrangement."

Three Springs took foster kids, kids from DJJ, and kids from all other states. We even had one kid whose way was paid by the School Board of New Jersy.
Its highly possible that kids could be coming to this place from all other states, and being paid for by various government entities.

My son is at FPA and I have met most of the parents of the kids there. The kids aren't from foster homes.

No one said they were. FPA is licensed as a Foster Home rather than an RTC. The question posed was, can foster homes accept kids from out of state.
