31 <br /> hopefully resolve at the meeting and then the document will be done and ready for the upcoming <br /> Annual Plan. Does not appear that Chapel Hill TOPS program is still operational and will be <br /> removed from the document. The closest program that Rebekah could find to fit the Masonry <br /> Workshop listing is the Tools for Hope program within Josh's Hope. The Tools for Hope <br /> program is going extremely well and expanding their services to include some home <br /> construction. Rebekah will replace "Masonry Workshop"with Josh's Hope/Tools for Hope. <br /> Behavioral Skills program is offered through the school system not a JCPC funded program so <br /> the coloring will need to be updated. <br /> Junior Police Academy is still being offered by Orange County DEAPR in partnership with <br /> Hillsborough Police for a one-week summer camp and the Chapel Hill Police also offer a <br /> program but is limited in frequency. The Citizens Police Academy is also still offered by <br /> Hillsborough Police. Transitional School will be removed since no one could identify any other <br /> schools than the ones already listed on the document. Under Clinical Treatment category, will <br /> add"Intensive Wrap Around" and "High Fidelity Wraparound"programs that are both being <br /> offered by Youth Villages. <br /> Action Plan Review/Update—No longer required as part of the Annual Plan and will not need to <br /> complete. <br /> Announcements <br /> After much planning, Orange County has created a Misdemeanor Diversion Court that will go <br /> into effect on June 1 for 16 and 17 year olds. The court will start accepting referrals April 15 <br /> and the first practice court session is May 4. It is modeled after the one in Durham.

There <br /> is talk about expansion funding for Teen Court. If approved, the funds would come to the JCPC <br /> and added to the county allocation for decisions to be made at the local level. <br /> Sentencing Commission has recently put out a report that JCPC programs were serving the <br /> majority of lower risk youth. The Department knows that that isn't true and came to the <br /> conclusion that the Risk Assessment Tool needed to be re-nonmed. The questions in the form <br /> itself will remain the same, but the numerical scale for determining risk level will be different. <br /> The time frame for administering the tool will also be changed. <br /> ➢ Next JCPC Meeting: Friday,June 3,2016; Location: Hillsborough Commons, 113 <br /> Mayo Street,Hillsborough NC <br />
