Currently, all eligible juvenile justice programs are evaluated under the DJJ Accountability Ratings model. During the 2024 legislative session, HB 1425 amended s. 1003.52, F.S., to remove the requirement for the DJJ and the Department of Education to “implement a joint accountability, program performance, and program improvement process” and to add the requirement that juvenile justice detention, prevention, and day treatment programs be evaluated as alternative schools under the school improvement ratings model. Further, the evaluation of juvenile justice residential programs will be conducted under an accountability model developed by the DJJ for the Florida Scholars Academy under s. 985.619, F.S.
