Juvenile structured day programs (JSDPs) are designed to offer programs to expelled and suspended youth and who are sanctioned by the courts. The programs are part of a community corrections and juvenile rehabilitative effort. Survey findings indicate that the state's JSDPs are providing services to a growing number of suspended/expelled students. This number is expected to increase as more of the newer JSDPs become fully operational and expand their capacities. Cost-benefit analyses reveal that JSDPs are beneficial for effectively bridging the gap between suspension/expulsion and reintegration back into the public school. Successful graduation, as a result of JSDP attendance, produces far more benefits for both the student and society than associated costs. Policy recommendations to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of these programs include: increase JSDP funding, expand sites and capacities, increase staff, fully automate JSDP student information systems, and increase transportation alternatives.
