Carol McClelland motioned for minutes to <br />be approved and was seconded by Donna King. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Agency Roundtable <br />Boomerang – Serving last students in Alternative to Suspension program, and have served 181 <br />referrals. 57% of referrals were from CHCCS and 43% from OCS. Biggest reason for referral <br />has been fighting, which is a change from prior years where it was substance use. Kids in the <br />After School program completed 660 hours of volunteer work. Partnered with AL Stanback this <br />year to do a boys’ group and will continue the group next year as the kids move into 7th grade. <br />Overall it’s been a great year with lots of partnerships. <br />Volunteers for Youth – Great time of year for Community Service because community gardens <br />are open and summer is coming. <br />Freedom House – Currently serving 8 clients, but has another 4-5 in the works. Two Common <br />Sense Parenting classes just finished up and have had some difficulty getting Spanish-speaking <br />parents to participate in class. <br />Dispute Settlement Center – Worked with about 20 kids through DJJ referrals. The majority of <br />kids are coming in at risk-level of 3 (right in the middle). Will be starting another Family Table <br />session on July 12 and trying to get a few more families to participate. Please send referrals. <br />Wrenn House – Have been staying fairly busy, can hold up to 6 kids at one-time, but haven’t had <br />many Orange kids lately. <br />DJJ Data – April: 6 distinct juveniles, 9 complaints, 1 approved for court, 4 put on plan or <br />contract, 5 school related offenses, and 1 juvenile in detention for 17 days. <br />May: 4 distinct juveniles, 6 complaints, 1 approved for court, 3 put on a plan or contract, 3 <br />school related offenses, 1 juvenile in detention for 2 days, and 1 juvenile on electronic <br />monitoring for 21 days . <br /> <br />
