Background:
Certain school districts must provide a program of education to juveniles committed by the courts and confined in residential schools operated by the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS). There are four such residential schools.
A school district may contract with an educational service district (ESD) to provide the educational program. The ESDs are authorized to enter into agreements with one or more school districts to provide cooperative services on their behalf or and to coordinate joint purchase programs.
Additionally, certain school districts must provide a program of education to juveniles at county detention facilities. There are 22 such county detention facilities. The education program in county detention facilities must be provided in the same manner as in DSHS residential schools.
Summary:
An ESD may enter into an agreement to provide a program of education for residential school residents or detention facilities on behalf of a school district as a cooperative service program.
