Sharing the criminal history of young people has become a flashpoint after a A 17-year-old Howard County student has been charged with first-degree murder earlier this month.

The student — who wore an ankle monitor after being convicted of attempted murder last year — is accused of killing a man whose body was found in a car near Howard High School, where the student transferred from Anne Arundel County .

The crime prompted the state Department of Education this week require school superintendents to share information confidentially about a student’s criminal past when he is transferred to a new district.

Howard County Schools Superintendent William Barnes said last week:

Now, Moore is directing the Department of Juvenile Services to oversee an agency review of information-sharing procedures.

Moore said in a statement that he would “closely study this interagency review after its completion.”

The state’s new Commission on Juvenile Justice Reform and Emerging Best Practices (which was formed before the Howard County incident) will also hold its first meeting soon and consider the new interagency review.
