39 <br /> Q: Is the program agreement setup up so that you can only take referrals from Juvenile Justice? <br /> A: We get referrals from the Youth Deflection program but the only ones that go into NCALLIES are the <br /> ones we get from the Court Counselors. <br /> Q: Is that because your program agreement says that you only take referrals from Juvenile Justice? <br /> I think you can use the funding for other at risk populations unless your program agreement says <br /> that. <br /> A: I will follow up with Val, but it's my understanding that the report is only based off what we enter into <br /> NCALLIES, but we do get referrals from other places. <br /> Susan Worley reports she has been talking to Tami and Toshina about it; Toshina says yes they do, but I <br /> think it's something worth exploring. <br /> Toshina Wiggins will have the person with the Dispute Settlement Center to review the program <br /> agreement but you should be able to accept or enter the information in NCALLIES because you serving at <br /> risk and kids who are involved in Juvenile Justice so it should not be an issue but will check into it more. <br /> Youth Deflection program provides an opportunity to stay out of the "system", we are serving them <br /> outside of court and in the community. With Dispute Settlement Center, they get funds from more than <br /> JCPC, in an effort to keep the kids out of the court system and to keep documentation of them out of the <br /> system that was the choice to not enter them into NCALLIES database. <br /> Toshina states that it is for program tracking purposes,tracking who they are serving as part of their <br /> agreement to serve at risk kids. So if you are referring to them, then they would need to enter that into <br /> NCALLIES for their tracking purposes. <br /> The Exchange Club—Group.numbers low, still struggling, estimated to serve 16, serving 0 as no referrals <br /> have been received. In-home estimated to serve 10, serving 5. Terminated 3, we may have to go back and <br /> do some training with the staff member to make sure he is scoring correctly. <br /> Volunteers for Youth—Both Teen Court and Community Service have exceeded or met the objectives. <br /> Still behind on numbers of kids being served, numbers lower than anticipated. <br /> Wrenn House—Estimated to serve 10, actual served 1. Either due to Covid or there hasn't been a need. <br /> Met goals at 100%,will continue screening,process still the same. <br /> Q: Are we in line with other counties with respect to low numbers for the programs? <br /> A: Yes, statewide numbers are showing low on these reports due to Covid. It is still definitely a challenge <br /> with programing. However still having those conversations with the programs to continue to engage <br /> partners and being creative with the programing to serve children and families the best way that they can. <br /> JJ Data Update <br /> December—7 juveniles at intake; 14 delinquent complaints; 0 undisciplined complaints; 3 school based <br /> complaints; 7 complaints approved for court; 6 complaints diverted;.0 complaints closed; 2 juveniles <br /> placed in detention for 12 days; 0 days used at Wrenn House; and 0 YDC admissions. <br /> January— 10 juveniles at intake; 19 delinquent complaints; 0 undisciplined complaints; 6 school based <br /> complaints; 12 complaints approved for court; 0 complaints diverted; 0 complaints closed; 1 juvenile <br /> placed in detention for 31 days; 0 days used at Wrenn House; and 0 YDC admissions. <br /> Q: Are the total number of complaints stable or have they gone down during Covid? <br /> A: As you can see on the reports,they have gone down in the 6 months reported, picked up in numbers in <br /> October and November, school complains have been really low during Covid but other complaints were <br /> coming in, in the community. <br />
