2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 2A - Administration of Civil and Criminal Justice|Section 2A:12-5.1 - Findings, declarations relative to school-based probation.

2A:12-5.1 Findings, declarations relative to school-based probation.  1. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. School-based probation is an approach to the supervision of children which shifts the primary location of probation operations to the school environment;  b. School-based probation is designed to provide closer monitoring of a juvenile's behavior in order to improve school attendance and academic performance, lower school drop-out rates and reduce recidivism and out-of-home placements resulting from delinquent behaviors; c. School-based probation programs have stimulated much interest and enthusiasm because they are believed to enhance both the school environment and probation services; d. Studies that have been conducted on the program are very encouraging and have shown that children who have been assigned to school-based probation are more likely to be in the community longer prior to their first charge after their assignment to probation and are also more likely to be charged with probation violation and status offenses rather than new charges of a more serious nature;  e. Children who have been assigned to school-based probation tend not to "penetrate" the juvenile justice system as deeply as do children who are assigned to more traditional forms of supervision, resulting in not only cost savings, but also reductions in the destructive effects of extended placements and involvement in the more restrictive components of the juvenile justice system; f. Various models of school-based probation have been implemented in many counties of this State, each designed to address the particular needs of the individual county or school district; and g. The Legislature would benefit from input by probation departments currently involved in school-based probation and the school districts with which they are in partnership on their evaluation of the program and any recommendations regarding the expansion and replication of the program throughout the State.  L.2001,c.406,s.1.

The Administrative Director of the Courts, in consultation with the Commissioner of Education, shall submit an annual report to the Legislature evaluating the effectiveness of the school-based probation program. The report shall include, but need not be limited to: information on the cost-effectiveness of the program as compared to the more traditional model of juvenile probation; the methods by which the confidentiality of the child involved in the program has been protected and any information-sharing protocols which have been developed between school and probation staff; information on the impact of the program in such areas as drop-out rates, disciplinary referrals, tardiness, absenteeism and academic performance; recommendations as to the preferred model or models of school-based probation to implement on a Statewide basis or any specific parameters of the program that should be mandated; and any other recommendations regarding the expansion of the program.  b. For the purposes of compiling the report required pursuant to subsection a. of this section, the Administrative Director of the Courts shall have access to the pupil record of any child who has been assigned to school-based probation. Information which is provided to the Administrative Director of the Courts pursuant to this subsection regarding a student who has been assigned to school-based probation shall be used under strict conditions of anonymity and confidentiality. No liability shall attach to any member, officer or employee of any board of education for the furnishing of any pupil records pursuant to this subsection. L.2001,c.406,s.2.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 2A - Administration of Civil and Criminal Justice|Section 2A:12-7 - Legislative findings and declarations

2A:12-7. Legislative findings and declarations  The Legislature finds and declares that: a. In the area of child visitation a court often orders supervised visitation where there has been a history of child abuse, medical disabilities, psychiatric problems or other situations where the safety and welfare of the child may be jeopardized. b. Often court ordered supervised visitation never occurs due to the inability to locate volunteers willing to be present during the visitation and a facility in which the visitation may take place. c. The inability of a parent or guardian to spend time with a child poses serious psychological problems to both the parent and the child and prevents the growth of a normal, healthy relationship. d. The purpose of this act is to facilitate supervised visitation by making the facilities and members of local community organizations available to assist in court ordered supervised visitation. L.1983, c. 424, s. 1.
