Sherita would like to start incorporate these circles within the schools and eventually become a trainer. Hot Topic Discussion The County has started a Reentry Council that is working with formerly incarcerated and there is a lot of energy and community involvement. It is being put out on our radar because at some point in the future it may intersect with the juvenile justice system and the JCPC. Orange County Schools has contracted with Renaissance Center as the school-based mental health provider and this year they will have 6 full licensed therapists that will be housed in the schools Monday-Friday and will be divided between 2-3 schools that are in close proximity so that if an emergency happened they can get to a school within 10 minutes.

Susan wanted to give a shout out to Denise for helping to expedite the July payments from the state to Orange County so that the programs could receive their July funds in July and not August, like has happened in the past. Consultant Update All program agreements have been approved and fully executed in DocuSign and all programs have received their July disbursements. Final accounting is now available and the deadline to be submitted in NCALLIES is August 15. Please do not wait until the last minute to complete. Failure to complete final accounting in a timely manner could hold up future disbursements. New this year, all signatures will be done electronically through DocuSign; no more hard copies to pass around. Denise will have the programs present their SPEP scores at the December meeting. This is an evaluation tool that the state uses to make sure that the funded programs are evidence-based, follow a curriculum, and have protocols in place for staff retention. Denise will be working with the programs to identify if there are any areas for improvement and the programs will report to the JCPC on this. Denise is going to start working on the Risk and Needs data in preparation for the January subcommittee meeting. All programs in Orange County have had a consultant monitoring, which is done every three years. Please add committee signups to the October agenda. Denise will provide a brief description of each one and a suggested number of members. Please use this opportunity to volunteer for something you are interested in; otherwise the Chair may appoint you to one.
