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

HB 189 requires Alabama juvenile courts to send written notice within seven days to a school superintendent or private school principal when a student enrolled in K-12 is charged with or found delinquent for certain serious offenses (like murder, rape, or Class A/B felonies). It also allows courts to notify schools if a student is charged with any other offense that would be a crime if committed by an adult. The notice must include the offense details and case disposition, and school staff receiving it must keep the information confidential solely for supporting the student's rehabilitation or protecting others. This directly affects school officials who must handle such notifications and students involved in juvenile court cases for specific criminal acts.
