Abstract
Moving students from juvenile corrections institutions back to local public school programs seriously disrupts students' educational programs. Frequently, the schools and other public agencies have not been adequately prepared to place students in their program. The Juvenile Corrections Interagency Transition project developed, field-tested, and evaluated 56 strategies to help local schools and the Division of Juvenile Rehabilitation in Washington State coordinate planning as juveniles move from one school program to another. The model contains step-by-step procedures to address problems in four areas: interagency awareness, transfer of school records, preplacement planning before a juvenile leaves an institution, and placement maintenance and communication when a juvenile is released from an institution. Systematic planning for transition of juveniles resulted in more efficient transfer of records and increased awareness and cooperation among service providers.
