少年逃学法庭

旷课法院  is a specialty court and a diversion program that was piloted in Bullhead City during the 2018 school year. This ran from 2018-2020 with a short hiatus due to COVID-19 before getting back up in running in 2021 while also initiating the Kingman 旷课法院. The goal of the program is to reduce truancy (which is defined by Arizona Revised Statute ARS 15-803 as five or more unexcused absences) in elementary, 中间, 以及莫哈韦县学校的高中. This program was originally piloted for 莫哈维族县 in Bullhead City by the guidance and direction of Honorable Rick Williams. 而目前的项目存在于牛头市和金曼, 莫哈维山谷和哈瓦苏湖也有未来的计划.

在从19日开始接受推荐的试用期试点中, 2018, there were a total of 18 who participated in 旷课法院 with 17 successful and 1 unsuccessful from 5 different schools.

The goal is to not only address students who currently have truancy issues but for the rest of their education as well. Juveniles who are successful will be attending school on a regular basis and diverted from having a delinquency record or engaging in delinquent or criminal activity in the future. While in the program the participants are given certain incentives like gifts and goodies where they can choose from the gift box and sanctions like workbooks, essays, 以及他们在学习过程中的其他选择.

Many factors contribute to truancy which is one key risk factor for future delinquent or criminal behavior. 法院与许多机构和团队成员一起为这个项目工作:市法院, 6686皇冠最新登陆, 亚利桑那州青年伙伴关系, 当地治疗和咨询机构, 当地学区, 当地执法机构, 和莫哈维县少年犯.

在这个项目成功的基础上, the court works with our partners to give every student the support and services necessary to be successful in school. 通过奖励和制裁计划, 法院解决了学生及其家庭对教育成功的需求.

旷课法院 is held twice a month in Bullhead City on Fridays and the first Thursday of each month in Kingman.
