Subject: Approval of School Justice Partnership Agreement with Orange County Public
Schools. (Police Chief Ogburn)
Background Summary:
A School Justice Partnership agreement is a collaborative effort between educational institutions, law enforcement
agencies, and judicial systems to reduce student involvement with the criminal justice system. The development of
this agreement is driven by the desire to create a more supportive and inclusive school environment. By
implementing restorative justice practices, promoting positive behavioral interventions, and fostering collaboration
between schools, law enforcement, and community organizations, School Justice Partnership Agreements aim to
keep students engaged in their education and out of the criminal justice system. These agreements typically
address minor school-based offenses through alternative disciplinary measures rather than arrests or court
referrals. This approach benefits the individual students and contributes to safer and more equitable school
communities. This agreement was initially signed in 2016.
