Educational Services for Students Awaiting Trial as an Adult

With the passage of SB10-054 and pursuant to 22-32-141 C.R.S., if a juvenile is held in a jail or other facility for the detention of adult offenders pending criminal proceedings as an adult, the school district in which the jail or facility is located shall provide educational services for the juvenile upon request of the official in charge of the jail or facility.

 

On or before the 15th of the month the official in charge of the jail or facility in which a juvenile is held, or designee, shall report to the Department of Education (CDE) the actual number of juveniles who received educational services at the jail or facility during the prior calendar month.  To avoid duplication of effort we are also asking for additional nonidentifying information required in the legislation to be reported to the Division of Criminal Justice in the Department of Public Safety
