__**Criminal Justice**__

Strengthening the youth justice system

__**Purpose of the bill:**__ The purpose of our bill is to keep our schools safe. We believe that after a set amount of suspensions to one individual they should then be enrolled into a separate special school. This school will be used to deal with juvenile delinquents. It will contain the main courses: math, english, science, social studies, reading or a foreign language, lunch, recess, and a mandatory therapy group. If the child is caught with drugs or alcohol they will immediately be sent to a rehab center or jail depending on the substance and quantity.

__**Eligibility:**__ This bill will apply to all juveniles that are getting repetitively suspended within a specific amount of time.


 * __Terms and Benefits__ (How our Bill is going to work):**

The benefits from this bill is that kids that are getting suspended many times will be able to go to a school that is easier to fit their needs. It will help relieve their stress if that is the cause of their out breaks. if it is family issues we can try and help the best we can. If the juvenile was just board and had nothing to look forward to alternate activities will be asked for the students to take up so they are active and a part of something.

The first task is finding ideal areas in each district to build a separate facilities for the children that have to attend the special schools that are easier to fit their needs. Depending on how many kids get suspended a year it will determine the size of the school and if it will be located and shared between two different districts.

For the schools we will need teachers who are able to deal and help students that have stress or problems. There will also need to be experienced counselors who are able to talk and teach ways to relieve stress. After the schools are built workers are needed. Teachers and counselors who are use to being around juveniles and can deal with sudden out breaks in a calm manor. The counselors have to be involved with the students, so they are able to connect more to the students.

We will collect this money through the public education system, and any donations made.

__**The Cost:**__ Equipment: 10,000 This money will be for supplies such as books, pencils, pens, journals, paper and other school supplies.

Labor: $1100000 This money will go towards the education for the juveniles; will pay the teachers for working to teach the classes.

__**Transportation:**__ $0, the students will be driven in by parents if possible.

__** Total: **__ $1,193,375
