FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS 

This form serves two purposes. It is primarily designed to provide the notice required by Welfare and Institutions Code section 827(b). 
The form can also be used to provide notice under Education Code section 48267. In addition, the form can be used to provide notice 
under both. If the form is providing notice for both section 827(b) and section 48267, the rules of section 827(b) on its dissemination, 
listed below, should be followed.

PURPOSE AND DISSEMINATION UNDER EDUCATION CODE SECTION 48267

Education Code section 48267 requires that if the child is in a grade from 7 to 12, the juvenile court must notify the superintendent of 
the child's school district when the child is described by section 602 and a condition of probation requires attendance in a school 
program approved by the probation officer.

If the form is being used to provide notice under Education Code section 48267, the juvenile court must provide the written notice to the 
superintendent of the school district of attendance within seven days of the disposition order, which must be expeditiously transmitted to 
the principal or to one person designated by the principal of the school that the minor is attending. The principal or the principal's 
designee must not disclose this information to any other person except as otherwise required by law.

PURPOSE AND DISSEMINATION UNDER WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 827(b)

Welfare and Institutions Code section 827(b) requires that when a child is found to have committed a felony or misdemeanor for certain 
offenses, the court must send this form to inform the school of the underlying offense and the outcome of the case. The form is intended 
to encourage communication between the courts, law enforcement, and schools to ensure rehabilitation of the child and to promote 
public safety.  

Juvenile court proceedings and information related to the case are confidential, and disclosure of this form is governed by the rules of 
confidentiality found in Welfare and Institutions Code section 827. Information related to a child's juvenile case is strictly confidential; the 
disclosure on this form is a limited exception. It is to be provided only to select individuals in the child's school district. An intentional 
violation of these rules is a misdemeanor.

Welfare and Institutions Code section 827(b) provides specific instructions for the school on how the form should be disseminated 
when it is sent by the court:
•  The court will send this form to the district superintendent of the child's school district.
•  The district superintendent must expeditiously transmit it to the principal at the school of attendance.
•  The principal must then expeditiously disseminate the information to those counselors directly supervising or reporting on the 
behavior or progress of the child. In addition, the principal must disseminate the information to any teachers or administrators 
directly supervising or reporting on the behavior or progress of the child, if the principal believes they need the information to work 
with the child in an appropriate fashion or to promote school safety.

Any information received from the court by a teacher, counselor, or administrator must be received in confidence for the limited purpose 
of rehabilitating the child and protecting students and staff.  

A teacher, counselor, or administrator who receives the information in the form must not disclose the information or disseminate the 
form unless it is communication with the child, his or her parents or guardians, law enforcement personnel, or the juvenile probation 
officer and is necessary to effectuate the child's rehabilitation or to protect students and staff.

An intentional violation of the confidentiality provisions of Welfare and Institutions Code section 827(b) is a misdemeanor punishable by 
a fine not to exceed $500.

If a child is removed from public school because of the court's finding described in this form, the superintendent must maintain the 
information in a confidential file and must defer transmitting the form received from the court until the child is returned to public school. If 
the child is returned to a school district other than the one from which the child came, the parole or probation officer having jurisdiction 
over the child must notify the superintendent of the last district of attendance, who must transmit the notice received from the court to 
the superintendent of the new district of attendance.

The form is required to be destroyed when the child graduates from high school, reaches the age of 18, or is released from court 
jurisdiction, whichever occurs first. At any time after the form is required to be destroyed, the child or his or her parent or guardian has 
the right to make a written request to the principal of the school to review the child's school records to verify that the form has been 
destroyed. After this requested review, the principal or his or her designee must respond in writing to the written request and either 
confirm or deny that the form has been destroyed, or explain why destruction has not yet occurred.
