Stationhouse Adjustments. Certain minor juvenile delinquency offenses may be resolved by police departments through the means of stationhouse adjustments. This is a voluntary process that, if successful, diverts the case from formal processing, and avoids the creation of a juvenile delinquency record for the juvenile. Since no charge is filed, the school need not be provided notice of a stationhouse adjustment and need not be involved in the process. However, when the school district is a victim of a minor juvenile offense, such as a minor theft or offense involving trespass or the destruction of school grounds, the school shall be notified and should be included in the stationhouse adjustment process, in the same manner as any other victim. Schools are not precluded from providing community service opportunities or other programs for stationhouse adjustment programs.
