Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant was adjudicated delinquent for committing the offenses of trespass on school grounds and obstructing an officer without violence. The Department of Juvenile Justice had filed a predisposition report recommending Appellant be placed on community control, but the trial court rejected the recommendation and imposed a high risk commitment without receiving a further recommendation from the Department as to a restrictiveness level. This was error. In S.R. v. State, 683 So. 2d 576 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996), we held that “section 39.052(4)(e)2, Florida Statutes, unequivocally requires the court to receive and consider a recommendation from the Department as to restrictiveness level before ordering a commitment.” Consequently, we reverse the order of commitment and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

Reversed and Remanded.

WEBSTER, LAWRENCE and PADOVANO, JJ., concur.

    …ailed to obtain a recommendation as to restrictiveness level from the Department of Juvenile Justice after he rejected the department’s recommendation of community control. The appellant is entitled to relief under decisions such as J.P.M. v. State, 688 So. 2d 458 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997), and S.R. v. State, 683 So. 2d 576 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996). Nevertheless, the appellee relies upon I.T. v. State, 694 So. 2d 720 (Fla.1997), in arguing that the appellant is precluded from raising the issue presented here because o…

    …ess level recommendation from the Department. The court has held in this regard that community control is not a “restrictiveness level.” See R.A.M. v. State, 695 So. 2d 1308 (Fla. 1st DCA), reh’g granted, 698 So. 2d 1225 (Fla.1997); J.P.M. v. State, 688 So. 2d 458 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997); S.R. v. State, 683 So. 2d 576 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996). We disagree, however, with the First District’s interpretation of the statute. We do not believe the statute requires the court, once it has already rejected the Department’s n…
