Joanna Jacobs Blog - On probation in school
Pennsylvania puts juvenile probation officers in schools, where they can see their charges every day and keep track of their schoolwork. post-gazette.com

It began as an experiment 14 years ago in eastern Pennsylvania at two middle schools in Allentown. At year's end, the results were promising, with decreases in dropouts (29 percent), absenteeism (15 percent), lateness (9.5 percent), detentions and suspensions (4 percent) and a 4.1 percent increase in grades.
