About Dept of Juvenile Justice

Description provided by the district or community 鈥� not part of the NCES dataset.

DJJ is the state agency responsible for providing rehabilitation and custodial care for the state鈥檚 juveniles who are on probation, incarcerated, or on parole for a criminal or status offense. The mission of the agency to protect the public and reclaim juveniles through prevention, community programs, education and rehabilitative services in the least restrictive environment. DJJ operates a special school district with fully accredited academic programs, serving approximately 900 students in grades 4-12 each day. All juveniles in the care of the DJJ attend school while detained or incarcerated. DJJ's school district and schools function just like other school districts and schools in South Carolina - with a district superintendent, principals, teachers, directors, and program coordinators. However, DJJ's schools differ from other South Carolina schools in several ways: Schools are in session year-round (enabling students to make up absences and close learning gaps). DJJ's school district has no local tax base, relying exclusively on state (EFA is calculated at 70%) and federal funding. Classes are geared to meet the individual needs of each student. The DJJ school district is responsible for all educational programs operated by the agency, including those in private vendor programs and alternative school sites in community residential placement facilities.
