Juveniles Incarcerated in Adult Facilities
Section
1306.2 of the School Code requires that persons under twenty-one years of age who are confined to an adult local correctional institution following a charge for a criminal offense shall be eligible for educational services in the same manner and to the same extent as a student who has been placed in an
alternative education program for disruptive students pursuant to Article XIX-C
(Disruptive Student Programs).
These services are provided to a resident school district by a host school district, which is defined as the school district in which the adult facility resides. A resident school district is the school district in which the incarcerated student is a member and is responsible
for providing funding to the host school district. Payments to the
host school district and from the resident
school district are processed by the Department's Bureau of Budget and Fiscal
Management via deductions from the resident school district's Basic Education
Funding.
