Judge Beverly Scarlett motioned for minutes to be <br /> approved and was seconded by Charlos Banks. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Agency Roundtable <br /> In addition to regular reporting,programs were asked to provide a brief overview on their PEP (Program <br /> Enhancement Plan). These are required by all programs, whether or not they receive a SPEP <br /> (Standardized Program Evaluation Protocol) score. SPEP is the Department's response to a legislative <br /> request that funded programs are evidence-based, effective, and reaching the right youth at the right times. <br /> SPEP scores have gone out to programs and now the PEPS are an opportunity for programs to report to <br /> the council on ways they can improve their SPEP score. (Programs that are Structures do not receive a <br /> SPEP score). <br /> Boomerang—They are not a SPEP program because their time with students is short. They received a 20 <br /> out of 20 so there are no areas that require improvement. However,they will continue to protocols, <br /> specifically around virtual programming, and continue to provide staff with training opportunities. <br /> Currently they have six youth participating in STRIVE program. Monica Davis from Chapel Hill <br /> Carrboro City School has been working with Boomerang and their youth. They do have a waitlist but are <br /> hoping to be able to expand their capacity next semester with the help of inters and other staff. <br /> Dispute Settlement Center--Currently working with two youth. They anticipate finishing up work with <br /> one youth soon. <br /> They are also not a SPEP program and received 20 out of 20. They are consistently reviewing their <br /> quality of service compliance to ensure they are facilitating restorative processes that are flexible and <br /> responsive to youth needs. Professional development occurs at least twice yearly. <br /> Exchange Club—PTS currently has three new cases, five in group and four in home. They are working <br /> really hard to get more referrals from Orange and have really been focusing on networking to get the ward <br /> out. <br />
