Overview
This bill, the Juvenile Justice Education Access and Equity Act, allows community colleges to enter into instructional services agreements with county probation departments to provide academic and career technical education courses at juvenile justice facilities. If a home community college district is unable or unwilling to provide these courses within 90 days of a request, a non-home district can step in. The bill also prohibits the home district from blocking or interfering with the non-home district’s ability to offer instruction at these facilities, ensuring access to education for justice-involved youth.
Key provisions
- Authorizes home community college districts to enter into instructional services agreements with county probation departments.
- Provides a mechanism for non-home community college districts to enter agreements if the home district fails to act within 90 days.
- Prohibits home community college districts from blocking or interfering with non-home districts providing instruction.
- Defines key terms such as ‘eligible institution,’ ‘home community college district,’ and ‘instructional services agreement.’
- Specifies that ‘juvenile justice facility’ includes juvenile halls, youth correctional centers, and camps.
- Clarifies that the bill does not prevent home districts from continuing to offer their own courses.
- States the bill does not restructure community college governance or alter statewide apportionment policy.
