An implementation plan, addressing the <br />Symposium's recommendations, was approved by the Board <br />in spring 1989. A report on the status of the <br />recommendations was presented to the Board on November <br />20, 1990. This final report, which addresses each <br />recommendation that can be addressed, completes one <br />cycle of implementation and lays the foundation for the <br />next phase. <br />The Youth Symposium raised the community visibility of <br />youth concerns, encouraged increased collaboration <br />among youth services providers, and promoted a number <br />of significant new initiatives. The departments, <br />agencies and school systems that have taken these <br />inititiative are to be commended for their efforts in <br />responding to the needs addressed by the Symposium. <br />This final report reflects several months of discussion <br />with community leaders and youth services providers in <br />local government, the two school systems, and non - <br />departmental agencies. The report includes each <br />recommendation made by the Symposium participants, and <br />briefly addresses the progress that has been made on <br />each recommendation. <br />
