24 <br /> Announcements <br /> Kristi would like to thank the board for covering the costs for her and program providers to <br /> attend the NCJSA conference. <br /> Parks & Recreation will start taking summer camp registration beginning February 1. The first <br /> two weeks of February they allow parents to register with only a 25% deposit and make <br /> payments up through May After the first two weeks payments must be made in full at the time <br /> of registration. <br /> Orange Partnership has community drop boxes for prescription medication around the county <br /> and they are now trying to address the issue of prescription medication security at home. They <br /> are looking to partner to organizations, agencies, JCPC, etc. who work with at-risk youth and <br /> families to secure their prescription medications at home with lock boxes. They have purchased <br /> 200 lock boxes and will be doing a survey and a follow-up survey after 3-6 months. If you are <br /> interested in working with Orange Partnership let Gayane know. It will be free of charge. <br /> Consultant Update <br /> Denise met with Val recently and monitored Dispute Settlement Center and everything was <br /> within compliance. <br /> The Department has concluded and finished the SPEP training for program providers. The next <br /> step with SPEP will have Denise working closely with program providers to create an <br /> enhancement plan to increase their scores. The plans will then be presented to the JCPC. Denise <br /> would like to take some time at the next meeting to do a presentation to the JCPC and then give <br /> time to the programs to present their plans. The plans will be presented to the JCPC on a <br /> quarterly basis and will become part of the county plan for the next fiscal year This is not for <br /> funding decisions or to eliminate programs but to be used to increase service delivery by the <br /> programs. Denise will be getting information out to all the programs that will help guide them <br /> through completing the plan. Denise would like the program enhancement plans sent to her by <br /> the end of January so she can review and provide guidance and feedback to the programs. For <br /> the programs who are structures and not SPEPable, they are still asking all programs to do the <br /> Quality of Services checklist. <br /> ➢ Next JCPC Meeting: Friday, February 5,2016; Location: Hillsborough Commons, 113 <br /> Mayo St, Hillsborough NC <br />
