Transition Planning for Youth with Disabilities: From Incarceration to the Community (Center on Transition Innovations, VCU)

Description:

The goal of the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) Division of Education is to provide quality instruction to meet a student’s academic and career-related goals to enhance their re-entry into the home community. The Commonwealth of Virginia ensures that educational services are not suspended during the student’s involvement with DJJ through provisions in the Code of Virginia, including the transfer of scholastic records. Between entry and discharge, students receive various services to meet their educational and transition needs and prevent recidivism.
