Juvenile proceedings; court required to notify local superintendent of education or private K-12 school principal of charging or adjudicating an enrolled student delinquent for committing certain criminal offenses

Summary

The law requires juvenile courts in Alabama to send a written notice to the local superintendent or private‑school principal within seven days whenever a child enrolled in K‑12 is charged with or found delinquent for certain felonies, capital offenses, murder, first‑degree rape, or sodomy. It also allows courts to notify schools for any other criminal conduct. The goal is to give schools timely information to support the child’s rehabilitation and protect other students and staff.
