Education Rights & Responsibilities Toolkit for Juvenile Justice System Involved Youth

This toolkit provides education-related information and resources regarding the rights of juvenile justice system involved youth and the responsibilities of system stakeholders. Stakeholders can use the toolkit to understand their obligations in meeting the education needs of youth with juvenile justice system involvement. Parents and advocates can use it to support youths’ education-related rights and to hold system stakeholders accountable. The information is organized by each stage of juvenile justice system involvement–detention, transition and release, reentry, community placement, and home supervision.
