The primary purpose of juvenile records confidentiality is to protect the privacy of juveniles and to prevent the disclosure of their records to unauthorized individuals.

School records are not considered juvenile records and are therefore not subject to confidentiality. However, some school records may contain information about a juvenile's involvement in the juvenile justice system, and this information may be subject to confidentiality if it is shared with a third party.

Juvenile records are generally confidential, but there are a number of exceptions to this rule. Law enforcement officers, judges and court personnel, and parents and guardians of juveniles are all authorized to access juvenile records in certain circumstances.

Juveniles can file a petition with the court to have their records expunged. The court will consider a number of factors in deciding whether to grant the petition, including the nature of the offense, the juvenile's age at the time of the offense, and the juvenile's subsequent record.

Having a juvenile record can have a number of negative consequences, including difficulty finding employment, being denied admission to college, and being ineligible for certain government benefits.
