    Pathway to Graduation and Mental Health Supports

    Justice engaged youth have the right to a graduation and promotion plan, appropriate credit for coursework completed while justice-engaged, and prompt enrollment or re-enrollment following a request. Once a student is eligible to enroll, the school, with the support of our designated point of contact, will help ensure a pathway to graduation and access to mental health support if appropriate and available.  Examples of support include, but are not limited to: 

    • Support from EARSS (Expelled, At-Risk Student Support) Partner 
    • Academic: College and Career Planning, plan to support credit acquisition towards graduation, consultation for additional academic supports (as needed) 
    • Mental Health: School based, referral to outside providers 
    • Alternative programming options and alternative solutions to a comprehensive school.  
    • Community Based: Referral to the Juvenile Assessment Center
