• A. 7

• D. 10

Answer: (A)

Timeliness in reporting to the school is what this tests. When the Code requires notifying a juvenile’s school, a written report must be sent within seven days of the court action that triggers the notice. This prompt reporting helps the school coordinate supports, address any safety or attendance concerns, and keep records current for the student. The other timeframes (three, ten, or fourteen days) don’t match the statutory requirement, so they aren’t correct.
