25 JJ Data Report They have been able to get into the new data system but it does compute data a little differently. For example, the new data captures complaints approved, diverted, and closed versus the old system that captured number of youth. They are also unable to capture electronic monitoring data. There is a four phase roll-out process for the new system, so there may be other data fields coming later down the road. July—9 juveniles at intake; 14 delinquent complaints; 1 undisciplined complaint; 0 school based complaints; 8 complaints approved for court; 4 complaints diverted; 3 complaints closed; 1 juvenile placed in detention for 28 days; 0 days used at Wrenn House; and 0 YDC admissions. August— 11 juveniles at intake; 45 delinquent complaints; 1 undisciplined complaint; 0 school based complaints; 43 complaints approved for court; 2 complaints diverted; 1 complaints closed; 3 juvenile placed in detention for 42 days; 8 days used at Wrenn House; and 0 YDC admissions. The new system also does not allow for Raise the Age data to be run similarly as in the past. However, she can pull year-to-date data on total served in offense groups. Since January 2021, 10 received violent complaints (A-E felonies), 18 received serious complaints (lower felonies and Al misdemeanors), 32 received minor complaints (lower level misdemeanors), 1 infraction, and 7 received status offenses. The new system can run a report on top 10 complaints,but can only be pulled by the district and not the county. However, Amanda does believe that the top complaints are consistent with what is being seen in Orange: breaking and entering of motor vehicle; breaking and entering of a building; felony possession of stolen property; and misdemeanor larceny. Comment was made about how the data seems to reflect the work the schools are doing to divert minor offenses by utilizing available community programs and resources to help resolve those issues internally. Guest Speaker—Attorney Annette Moore, Director, Orange County Department of Human Rights and Relations will be speaking about One Orange initiative as it relates to racial equity and the community. The framework is a vision for how the county can move forward with a whole county approach to racial equity. Orange County is working with Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough on a county-wide racial equity plan to break down systemic racism and institutional racism. While data is available that shows racial inequities, what isn't available is data that shows strategies used to close racial and economic gaps and that tracks progress over time. What we know is that Orange County ranks number one in the state for length of life and clinical care and has the highest per capita income in the state and the third highest median household income. Over the last 30 years in Orange County, the black population has decreased while the Asian and Hispanic populations have increased. When looking at the two school districts, a higher percentage of black and Hispanic students are scoring below grade average and that college and career readiness scores in both school systems have not gotten better over time for students of color, economically disadvantaged and with disabilities. We are also seeing disparities in Orange County with regards to household living in poverty, infant death rate, and life expectancy. The solid foundation we want to build the count wide racial equity plan on is based on the strength of community engagement and our data. Our racial equity plan is data driven and we must have consistent, measureable, accurate, and reliable data. We must be able to trust the data, have access to the data, know what's behind the data, and be able to understand the data because the data will help us track our progress.
