Key Takeaways

  • •If a kid on probation skips school or is late without a good reason, the school must tell the court and their probation officer within 10 days.
  • •The court must tell the school principal within 7 days if a student in grades 7-12 is on probation and must go to a special school program.
  • •The principal can’t tell anyone else about the student’s probation unless the law says they have to.

Example

A 15-year-old on probation for stealing skips school twice in a month.
