Rule 18 Interim-Program School Program Reporting (Nebraska)

Nebraska's Rule 18 Interim-Program schools include juvenile detention centers, juvenile emergency shelters, and psychiatric residential treatment facilities. Students residing at a Rule 18 Interim-Program school continue their education at the interim facility during the time they are not able to attend public schools. Rule 18 student transcripts are sent to the student's reporting school for data entry and reporting. For more information on Rule 18 Interim-Program Schools, see the Nebraska Department of Education website.

This article covers the setup needed to properly record and report Rule 18 student transcript information.
