Someone mentioned that they were concerned to see that 50 % of youth come from a home where parents have marginal or inadequate supervision skills . The question was asked about whether the courts ever mandate that parents complete any programs to help build these skills . Truancy court and DSS at times can require parents to attend certain programs to enhance their parenting skills . A comment was made that it seems like a high percentage to have especially when we have such great resources (FAN , Family Table , etc . ) that can help parents with these skills but the number of referrals to programs have been declining . It was also mentioned that a lot of the youth we serve have multiple needs and that they are having to prioritize what ' s most important because they can ' t do everything . So while a parent may need skill building , a child ' s mental health needs often takes priority . Continuum of Services Update — Each year as part of the Annual Plan , we update the Continuum of Services . Please review and advise of any corrections or edits . The following corrections were made : MH Services and SUD Services where changed from " available but difficult to access " to " available in the community" ; Alternative School for Non- Suspended Students was removed because the schools are already listed ; Communities in Schools was removed because they are no longer providing services in Orange county ; Whitaker School is not available to Level III youth so the arrow was corrected ; Wright School has such a long wait time and stringent criteria for admission that it was decided to change to " Available but difficult to access " ; and Peer-to - Peer Mediation is a model that is no longer be used so it was decided to be removed . RFP — A question was asked about Nancy ' s new role with Orange County to determine what services she is/will be providing and where there are gaps so that programs who are looking to apply for funding within the assessment/treatment category know how to write their applications . The Council reviewed the RFP for requested program types and dates . Peggy Hamlett motioned for the RFP to be published as written and to include a program type description document and was seconded by Stephanie Jones . Motion carried unanimously . Funding Committee — Funding Committee will be meeting on Friday , March 23 and will be an all - day session . Agencies come in the morning to present their applications to the committee and they then hold a discussion in the afternoon to come to a consensus on funding recommendations to bring before the full board at the April meeting . This is a voluntary committee and all board members (without conflict of interest) are welcome to attend . Rebekah will send an email out asking for volunteers . Hot Topic Discussion • Where/how are Boomerang ' s numbers reported by the school systems for detentions ? Tami will check- in with the school systems to see if she can get an answer . . • Child & Adolescent Outpatient Services program has yet to receive any referrals . Carol shared the eligibility criteria : uninsured or underinsured (high deductible) , undocumented . The funds can serve 5 kids , but as P Quarter Accounting approaches , budget amendment may be made so that funds do not have to be paid back . Referrals can come from any JCPC program and do not have to be court involved youth .
