Orange County Schools has a really good pilot program. <br /> Has also, been doing restorative justice work through juvenile court with students at Partnership <br /> Academy. Still doing victim-offender conferences which have been going really well and have <br /> quite a few referrals. Family Table was supposed to start last week but had to push it back and <br /> will be starting next week. There is room available for this next session so please refer any <br /> families you may be working with who would be appropriate. <br /> Question about ability to serve Spanish-speaking families in Family Table. Val states that they <br /> can accommodate those families and have used interpreters or their own staff <br /> Haven/Wrenn House—Right now are planning and prepping for a hurricane. Year-to-date they <br /> have served 4 youth for a total of 45 days. Just received word that they received federal funding <br /> again. <br /> DJJ Data—For month of August had 4 distinct juveniles at intake, 6 complaints received, 2 were <br /> approved for court and 4 were placed on a plan or contract.

He is <br /> a senior at Orange High School and plays varsity football and baseball and wants to go to NC <br /> State for college. <br /> Discussion of New Monthly Reporting—All the consultants statewide use some type of form for <br /> program providers to report out to JCPCs. This report is NOT a required state report. Gave all <br /> her counties a few months to use and report out on how well the format is working. Would like <br /> to hear thoughts from the program providers on the use of the form and from JCPCs on whether <br /> the form is beneficial to hear reports from the providers (is the information on the form helpful). <br /> Some counties have tweaked the form to suit their needs, one county voted not to use the form at <br /> all, and another decided that the form was only to be seen by the funding committee. <br /> • The most time consuming part is listing problem behaviors/risks and reasons why youth <br /> were admitted. Not time consuming but feel like I am reporting again on information that <br /> is already entered in NCALLIES and feel like it is duplicated effort. Denise stated that <br /> NCALLIES will be able to report out on a lot more but right now it is just the <br /> measureable objectives report. <br /> • Suggested by a board member that JCPC come up with a list of 5, or so, items to be <br /> reported out on instead of requiring the use of form. <br />
