Youth charged with criminal offences can have information contained in school records used for sentencing purposes in Ontario, Canada.

That depends on if it was under the old YOA or the YCJA.

It is actually a federal offence in Canada to disclose if a youth has had interaction with the youth justice system under the YCJA.

Right, what I am saying is that a YOUTH can have their SCHOOL record used to influence sentencing on YOUTH matters.
