Description
Juvenile alleged to be truant; development of truancy plan. Provides that in cases in which a school attendance officer files a complaint alleging that a juvenile is a truant and the juvenile has not previously been proceeded against informally or adjudicated in need of supervision for failure to comply with compulsory school attendance laws, the intake officer shall defer filing of a petition alleging that the child is in need of supervision for 90 days and shall refer the child to the family assessment and planning team for development of a truancy plan. If the juvenile or his parent, guardian, or other person standing in loco parentis refuses to participate in the truancy plan, or if at the end of the 90-day period the child has failed to comply with the truancy plan, the intake officer shall file a petition alleging that the child is in need of supervision.

Comments
The ACLU of Virginia strongly supports legislation that defers court intervention for students accused of truancy, who haven’t previously been adjudicated truant, so that a comprehensive evaluation can be conducted and the student be given services to correct problems. This legislation will provide students with a second chance before entering the criminal justice system and provide necessary services.

This legislation will provide students with a second chance before entering the criminal justice system and provide necessary services. This bill is key to combatting the "school to prison pipeline," which refers to the policies and practices that push our nation’s schoolchildren, especially our most at-risk children, out of classrooms and into the juvenile and criminal justice systems. Overly harsh disciplinary policies push students down the pipeline and into the juvenile justice system.
