JCPC Business Membership Vacancies – The Council was presented with two nominations, Kristi Lescinski and Aidan Salmeron, to fill the vacant Youth Under 18 positions. Carol McClelland motioned for Kristi and Aidan to be appointed as the new youth representatives and was seconded by Penny Rich. Motion carried unanimously. Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools slot is still vacant and Meg will reach out to the new superintendent to see about getting a representative designated. Program Monitoring – Programs will be emailed soon about the annual monitoring. Board members are still needed to help go out and do the monitoring. You don’t have to attend every single one, but it’s a good, hands-on way to learn about the funded programs a little more intimately. This committee is one of the most important because they review and make sure the programs are doing what they said they were going to in their program agreements. And if there are any concerns, the committee can recommend that the State go out and do a more in-depth monitoring, and possible even recommend the funding be stopped immediately if serious concerns are found. Risk & Needs Committee – Denise will be bringing Juvenile Court data to the meeting, but it is important to have a diverse group attend because there may be other trends happening that aren’t reflected in that data. It was brought to the JCPC’s attention that the new date that was selected now conflicts with another important Orange County collaborative meeting that a significant number of JCPC members attend. Rebekah will send out a Doodle Poll to help select another date/time. Conflict of Interest Form – All board members must sign a COI for the new fiscal year. Please complete if you haven’t already for this fiscal year and giv e to Rebekah or Meg before you leave. Consultant Update Program providers need to go into NCALLIES and make sure that your client tracking data is correct and up-to-date because the state is preparing to do a data sweep and this will affect SPEP scores. After SPEP scores are run, program will then have to update their PEP (program enhancement plan). Remember, while SPEP scores do not directly affect funding decisions, if there are areas of improvement identified on your PEP and you are not making any progress, the JCPC may consider that when making funding decisions. Raise the Age bill has passed in NC and will take effect on December 1, 2019. NCDPS juvenile justice staff have been divided up and assigned to a committee to help with the roll out. CAY (Community Alternative for Youth) will be holding regional meetings that are going to be focused solely on Raise the Age and Deputy Commissioner Billy Lassiter will be attending and speaking at all the meetings. Denise has been going out to do program monitorings (Volunteers for Youth and Dispute Settlement Center) and has a couple more programs (Boomerang and Freedom House) that need to be scheduled.
