Juvenile Law: School Notification of Delinquency Court Adjudication (Action Required)
body
Summary
Summary
The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee recommends revising Judicial Council form JV-690 to correct inaccuracies in the listed offenses and to conform the form to Welfare and Institutions Code section 827(b)(1). The proposed changes reflect closely the language of Welfare and Institutions Code section 827(b) and give the court the option to indicate the specific code section of the offense that was adjudicated. The form would also be revised to include notice under Education Code section 48267.

Recommendation
Recommendation
The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective January 1, 2019, revise School Notification of Court Adjudication (form JV-690) to:
1. Provide clarity and conformity with the Welfare and Institutions Code on what information is disseminated to a school when a child has committed certain criminal offenses;
2. Include more specific information for the school on how the form may be disseminated, to enhance confidentiality and help avoid situations in which the form is disseminated incorrectly;
3. Remove offenses from the form that are no longer eligible as felonies or misdemeanors; and
4. Provide for notice under Education Code section 48267.
