. (a) Local educational agencies are strongly encouraged to
enter into memoranda of understanding and create joint policies,
systems, including data sharing systems, transition centers, and
other joint structures that will allow for the immediate transfer of
educational records, create uniform systems for calculating and
awarding course credit, and allow for the immediate enrollment of
pupils transferring from juvenile court schools.
(b) As part of their existing responsibilities for coordinating
education and services for youth in the juvenile justice system, the
county office of education and county probation department shall have
a joint transition planning policy that includes collaboration with
relevant local educational agencies to improve communication
regarding dates of release and the educational needs of pupils who
have had contact with the juvenile justice system, to coordinate
immediate school placement and enrollment, and to ensure that
probation officers in the community have the information they need to
support the return of pupils who are being transferred from juvenile
court schools to public schools in their communities.
