State Governance Models for Educating Youth in Juvenile Detention Facilities. Policy Brief
Pechota, Damion
Education Commission of the States
School-age youth receive educational services while in juvenile detention facilities, but how these services reach students varies by state. Recent studies and surveys provide insight on juvenile justice systems and the complexities for delivering educational services in detention facilities. The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified persistent inequities in the juvenile justice system and how services, like education, reach youth. This brief provides an overview of how the education services in juvenile detention facilities are administered and overseen, and provides state examples of each model.
