Justice Engaged Student Support

Mapleton Public Schools is committed to our guarantee that all students, including those who are engaged in the justice system, can achieve their dreams and contribute enthusiastically to their community. Mapleton recognizes the unique circumstances these students are navigating and has implemented various services to support their needs.

Justice engaged youth have the right to a graduation and promotion plan, appropriate credit for coursework completed while justice-engaged, and prompt enrollment or re-enrollment following a request (if eligible to enroll, determined by the local education provider). Once a student is eligible to enroll, the school, with the support of our designated point of contact, will help ensure a pathway to graduation and access to mental health support if appropriate and available.  Examples of support include, but are not limited to:

• Academic: College and career planning to support credit acquisition towards graduation
• Mental Health: Access to school based mental health providers and/or referral to outside providers
