Juvenile Truancy Court

Truancy Court  是在2018学年在牛头市试点的一个专业法庭和一个转移项目. 这是从2018年到2020年，由于COVID-19而短暂中断，然后在2021年恢复运行，同时还启动了金曼逃学法庭. 该计划的目标是减少小学的旷课现象(根据亚利桑那州修订法规ARS 15-803的定义，旷课现象为五次或五次以上的无故缺课), middle, and high schools in Mohave County schools. 这个计划最初是在尊敬的里克·威廉姆斯的指导和指导下，在牛头市的莫哈维县试行的. While the current program exists in Bullhead City and Kingman, there are future plans for Mohave Valley and Lake Havasu.

During the pilot program where probation started receiving referrals on November 19, 2018, 共有18人参加了逃课法庭，其中17人成功，1人不成功，来自5个不同的学校.

这样做的目的不仅是为了解决目前有逃学问题的学生，也是为了解决他们今后的教育问题. 成功的青少年将会定期上学，避免将来有犯罪记录或从事犯罪或犯罪活动. 在这个项目中，参与者会得到一定的奖励，比如他们可以从礼品盒中选择的礼物和糖果，以及像练习册这样的惩罚, essays, and other options while they progress through the program.

导致逃学的因素很多，逃学是日后出现违法犯罪行为的主要危险因素之一. The Court works with many agencies and team members for the program: Municipal Court, Superior Court, Arizona Youth Partnership, local treatment and counseling agencies, local school districts, local law enforcement agencies, and Mohave County Juvenile Probation.

Building on the success of that program, 法院与我们的合作伙伴一起为每个学生提供在学校取得成功所需的支持和服务. Through a rewards and sanctions program, the court addresses the needs of the students and their families for educational success.

逃课法庭每月举行两次在牛头市星期五和每个月的第一个星期四在金曼.
