29 This is the first program PEP report that has a SPEP score and Denise helped explain how to interpret the scares. For the PTS Group component, the total SPEP score is 65 out of 100 (a score below 50 requires Department attention). This score could be higher if they were able to reach more youth and terminate more youth (Covid pandemic has really affected SPEP scores and the Department understand this). SPEP score compares all programs across the State regardless of program type. The POP score looks at this particular type against other programs of the same type. This program scored a POP of 76 out of 85. PTS Home Visitation component has a SPEP of 40 out of 100 and a PDP of 47 out of 85. Even though the scores are low and would normally require Department attention, due to the impact of Covid on programming across the state,the Department is not concerned. However, they will take note of the score and if it continues to remain low in the fallowing years then they will take a closer look. Volunteersfor Youth—Teen Court is not a SPEP program. They are at 20 out of 20 and their goal is to maintain that score. Since Covid,they have started weekly staff meetings, developed/updated policy manuals, and been able to focus on staff training. Community Service program is a SPEP program with a score of 59 out of 100 and a POP of 74 out of 80. They will also continue to pursue staff training opportunities, have weekly staff meeting, and continue to monitor policies and make adjustments when needed. Denise will follow-up with Susan on revising the PEP for Community Service program because some of the areas are lacking information on how they can be improved. Numbers are low for both programs,especially Teen Court. They are going to start hosting mock trials and have community service kids participate so that they can get hours and it will also allow volunteers to keep working with Teen Court. The Community Service program continues virtual activities and the last couple months they have incorporated some in-person activities. The activities have been outdoor yard. work for elderly residents and everyone practiced safe social distancing and wore masks. Wrenn House—Wrenn House is not a SPEP program because youth are often only there for emergency or respite care. Their score is 20 out of 20. They will continue to enhance safety measures related to Covid and will enhance program outreach efforts in the community to reach more youth in need of services. Their action steps are to remain up-to-date with CDC and state guidelines, update efforts for outreach by connecting with new community stakeholders to share program services and creating new ways to provide outreach through virtual platforms.
