The Coalition for Juvenile Justice (CJJ) Presents:

Ensuring School Engagement and  Success for Youth At Risk

CJJ will host its Annual National Conference and Council of SAGs’ meeting on April 9-13, 2010, at the Renaissance Washington D.C. Hotel. The theme of the conference is “Ensuring School Engagement and Success for Youth At Risk.”

 The conference main goals include: 

Highlighting best practices, policies and innovations in reducing the over-representation of youth of color throughout the juvenile justice continuum or preventing the failure to identify youth eligible for special education services;

Addressing how schools engage students and families in proactive ways to support student re-engagement and success when students fall behind, are truant, or are transitioning back to school from out-of-home placements or court mandated programs; and

Demonstrating how cross-system collaboration among school mental health professionals, community-based organizations and juvenile justice personnel results in improved school outcomes for youth and fewer referrals to the juvenile court.
