[quote=Anonymous]The issue that no one talks about is the rate of juvenile incarceration has dropped by 70% in Virginia in the last 10 years. That is probably a good thing IF resources that were being spent on incarceration were going toward programs and alternative schooling. I don't think it is. So schools are left to educate kids that a decade ago were in secure facilities. A lot of these kids are taking up so much of the administration's time, fighting, selling and taking drugs on and around campus and disrupting classes. There needs to be alternative schools for some of these kids. Here is a link to a report that explains the issue.

There are 70 percent fewer youth in Virginia’s juvenile justice system than a decade ago (9,551 in 2011 to 2,980 in 2021). This decline of youth in Virginia ’s system is at least partially attributable to several factors , including a decline in youth arrests and complaints and DJJ’s transformation efforts. The decline in Virginia is consistent with national trends.[/quote]
