Denise briefly reviewed the NC DPS handout . It is a strategic plan that was submitted to the <br /> Juvenile Jurisdiction Advisory Committee that outlines how raise the age is going to impact <br /> Community Programs . Community Programs is a division with DPS , of which JCPC is part of. <br /> This report directly talks about how raise the age will impact JCPC across the state and also <br /> other areas of Community Programs . On pages 2 - 3 , it is looking at a multi -pronged approach to <br /> meet three distinct points : increase JCPC programming capacity ; JCPC - funded early intervention <br /> programming , expansion of programming for juveniles that penetrate the juvenile justice system , <br /> expansion of residential contractual services to meet capacity needs ; and hiring additional <br /> Community Programs staff to support the expansion . On page 6 , it starts to talk about how there <br /> is really going to be a focus on mediation and restitution because those are the programs that <br /> receive the highest referrals of youth who are adjudicated , and also on Teen Court programs . On <br /> the bottom of page 7 , it lays out the funding recommendation for the JCPC expansion . There are <br /> funds that are being recommended for FYI 8 - 19 but since the State hasn ' t passed a budget yet , <br /> we don ' t know if all , some , or none of the recommended funds will be approved . If funds are <br /> approved , they will pass down to the counties and a new RFP will need to be advertised for these <br /> additional funds . There is also a possibility that the funds may be earmarked for specific <br /> programs/services because of the small amount . <br /> Announcements <br /> There will be a community conversation on April 26 around the opioid issue . The library will be <br /> hosting it and it is by invitation only because of capacity . If you received the invitation please <br /> RSVP ; if you didn ' t , it won ' t be the only one . <br /> Ligo Dojo , while a non-profit, they also offer classes to the general public and use the money <br /> from paying members to be able to provide services to low- income students . <br /> Cardinal is hosting a Town Hall meeting on April 17 from 11 - 11 : 30am at the Mebane Arts & <br /> Community Center in Mebane . It is a great opportunity for folks wanting to learn how to <br /> dispense Narcan and/or get questions answered by the CEO . <br /> In July , Susan Worley will be celebrating 30 years at Volunteers for Youth and will taking a 4 - <br /> week sabbatical so she will not be at the next meeting . <br /> Dispute Settlement Center will be offering youth- serving agencies a 2 to 3 hour introduction to <br /> restorative practices on how the model can be implemented in their agency .
