<br />
<br />Agency Roundtable
<br />Freedom House – FAN has had 35 parents complete Common Sense Parenting and has another 3
<br />pending. They just started another class and have another 2 referrals. There are still funds to serve youth
<br />in the Child and Adolescent Outpatient program.
<br />Dispute Settlement Center – Restorative Justice and Mediation program is currently working with 9 youth
<br />for a total of 17 youth (YTD) referred by DJJ, MDP, and Teen Court.
<br />Wrenn House – Currently have a bed available. YTD have served 6 kids and used 108 days, which is a
<br />large increase from this time last fiscal year when only 42 days had been used. They just completed their
<br />relicensing and are getting ready for a monitoring review with Denise this month.
<br />Boomerang – Served 94 students YTD with the majority coming from Chapel Hill-Carrboro City
<br />Schools; 3 of the students in March were court involved. The biggest reason for suspension last month
<br />was insubordination which isn’t a reason they have seen recently.
<br />Volunteers for Youth – The Community Service program has served 57 kids so far but has about another
<br />12 referrals that they just received and Teen Court has served 42 youth YTD. Teen Court is also
<br />scheduled for a monitoring review with Denise.
<br />
<br />DJJ Data Report/Update
<br />No update this month as their data system is being updated and they are unable to run reports at this time.
<br />February and March data will be presented at the June meeting along with April and May.
<br />
<br />Guest Speaker – Allyson Coltrane, TDM Coordinator, Orange Public Transportation (OPT)
