Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Pinal County School Superintendent, the Cochise County School Superintendent, the Pinal County Superior Court Presiding Juvenile Court Judge, and the Cochise County Superior Court Presiding Juvenile Court Judge, agreeing on Pinal County as county of jurisdiction for the County Detention Center Education Program to serve Pinal and Cochise Counties, effective July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, with automatic one-year renewal for up to 5 years.
Background:
There is an existing agreement between Pinal and Cochise Counties for transporting and housing juvenile offenders, because the detention center closed in Cochise County in 2020. There hasn't been a MOU between the respective County School Superintendents or Presiding Juvenile Court Judges as it relates to educating the juvenile students. This will rectify that.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
If approved, the MOU will be forwarded back to the Pinal County Superintendent and Presiding Juvenile Court Judge for signatures
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
This MOU seeks to clarify the county of jurisdiction for educating juvenile offenders being transported and housed in Pinal County facilities, which is already occurring.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Please return a signed copy of the MOU to the County School Superintendent's Office
