Summary

Existing law authorizes the establishment of county and local school attendance review boards that may promote the use of alternatives to the juvenile court system if available public and private services are insufficient or inappropriate to correct school attendance or school behavior problems. Existing law provides that any minor pupil who is a habitual truant, is irregular in attendance at school, or is habitually insubordinate or disorderly during attendance at school may be referred to a school attendance review board. Existing law provides that if the board determines that available community services can resolve the problem of the truant or insubordinate pupil, then the board shall direct the pupil or the pupil's parents or guardians, or both, to make use of those community services and may require satisfactory evidence of participation in the available community services. Existing law provides that for purposes of making a proper disposition of referrals, the board may issue subpoenas, or may request the juvenile court having jurisdiction to issue subpoenas, requiring the production of pertinent or material written information or the attendance of the minor, his or her parents or guardians, the referring authority, or any other person with pertinent or material information concerning the matter. Existing law generally provides for the confidentiality of juvenile court records and records relating to the administration of public social services. This bill would specify that, for the purpose of making a proper disposition of a referral, a member of a county or local school attendance review board, notwithstanding any other confidentiality requirement, may disclose and exchange confidential information or writing to other members of the board, consistent with the adopted rules and regulations of the board, if the member reasonably believes it is relevant to the prevention, identification, or treatment of truancy. The bill would also provide that any discussion relative to the disclosure or exchange of that information or writing during a board meeting is confidential.
