Abstract

This paper presents a study of educational opportunities for youth detained in county juvenile facilities. Selected public school districts, intermediate school districts, and detention facilities in the state of Washington were contacted to get both factual information and opinion.

Recommendations included suggestions that at least one teacher be provided for each facility, that school districts become more involved, and that additional study of actual detention schools be conducted in search of a model.
