by it, shall investigate the case of any child whose name is

guardian does not exercise proper care, supervision, and guidance
over him, or who is, by reason of insubordinate conduct, or refusal
to obey the rules and regulations of the school authorities, in need

of the court performing the functions of the juvenile court or in any

maintenance until such time as the county superintendent or

reports to the court that the best interests of the minor will be
served by his discharge from the school. A copy of the complaint

district, as the case may be, shall require a written report from the
principal of the 24-hour school, giving the progress of the child
and the advisability of the release of the child from the 24-hour
school. If the report indicates that the minor is in need of further
care and treatment and that his release would be detrimental to his
own welfare or the welfare of others, the county superintendent or
superintendent of the district, as the case may be, may report the
minor to the juvenile court or other proper court for action.



48612.  If, in the opinion of the principal of any 24-hour school,
the further detention of any minor is detrimental to the minor, the
minor may upon order of the principal be returned to the county
superintendent or superintendent of schools of the district, as the

child.
