That program seems to have ended. If you were able to take advantage of it that's great.

The current Wayne County prosecutor's website makes no mention of expungement when talking about the diversion program. It does say cases are dismissed if the program is completed - unlike what happens in Illinois.

Point: expungement of one's criminal record to remove a case where the person was found guilty or plead guilty is not guaranteed and can be cumbersome. Considering this I think we should work to limit kids' exposure to the criminal justice system by avoiding arrest and criminal charges for bad behavior in school except in the most extreme circumstances.
