DISCLOSURE OF DISPOSITION IN CERTAIN DELINQUENCY CASES (§ 16.1-305.1)

Upon a court&#8217;s disposition of a proceeding where a juvenile is charged
with a crime listed in subsection G of § 16.1-260 in which a juvenile is
adjudicated delinquent, convicted, found not guilty or the charges are reduced,
the clerk of the court in which the disposition is entered shall, within 15 days
of the expiration of the appeal period, if there has been no notice of an
appeal, provide written notice of the disposition ordered by the court,
including the nature of the offense upon which the disposition was based, to the
superintendent of the school division in which the child is enrolled at the time
of the disposition or, if he is not then enrolled in school, the division in
which he was enrolled at the time of the offense. If the court defers
disposition, or the charges are nolle prosequi, withdrawn, or dismissed the
clerk shall, within 15 days of such action, provide written notice of such
action to the superintendent of the school division in which the child is
enrolled at such time or, if he is not then enrolled in school, the division in
which he was enrolled at the time of the offense. If charges are withdrawn in
intake or handled informally without a court disposition, the intake officer
shall, within 15 days of such action, provide written notification of the action
to the superintendent of the school division in which the child is enrolled at
that time or, if he is not then enrolled in school, the division in which he was
enrolled at the time of the offense.
		If the child is not enrolled in the school division that receives notification
under this section, the superintendent of that division shall forward the
notification to the superintendent of the school division where the child is
enrolled or where the child intends to enroll, as evidenced by the school
division&#8217;s receipt of a request from another school division for such
child&#8217;s scholastic record.
		A superintendent who receives notification under this section may disclose the
information received to anyone to whom he or a principal disclosed that a
petition had been filed. Further disclosure of information received under this
section by the superintendent to school personnel is authorized only as provided
in § 22.1-288.2.
