40 <br /> Q: Any recollection as to what the schools the complaints are coming from? <br /> A: I think it is more Orange County. <br /> Q: Trend data is always helpful but maybe not so much due to looking at Raise the Age. Wonder if <br /> there is any way to look at 16-18 compared to 16 and under to look at trend data to see if any of that <br /> is going down? Also,is there any way to see what the top reasons for DJJ involvement and referrals <br /> are? <br /> A: Some we had more of in January: affrays, several simple assaults, arson, couple injury to personal <br /> property, breaking and entering of motor vehicle. About the age, I would have to check. I would have to <br /> put in a request for approval to have the data broken down. It may not be something so easily gathered <br /> each month but will check into what I can find. System does not separate raise the age because they are all <br /> our kids now. <br /> Q: Looks like numbers are random,however big jump in September. Wondering if because <br /> numbers to diversion are low? Are total complaints down and that is why we have fewer to divert? <br /> Or are the types of complaints more serious,therefore cannot be diverted? If we could see from the <br /> past couple years compared to this year then it would be clearer. <br /> A: Will compare previous years stats. Also, many are too serious to be diverted. <br /> Q: I think another good thing to track would be how many juvenile cases are moving to adult <br /> superior court. <br /> A: 16-17 year olds with A-G are automatic transfers but now the DA can chose discretion on certain <br /> offenses to keep in juvenile court. <br /> Consultant Update <br /> Third Quarter Accounting is coming due; email will sent later this month notifying program providers that <br /> it will be available in NCALLIES March Ist. Providers and JCPC admin can start reviewing budgets now <br /> to prepare to determine if a program revision is needed. If funds are not being utilized, it can be <br /> transferred to another JCPC funded program provider within the county who maybe in need of those <br /> funds. Also, notifications for discretionary finds are tentatively scheduled to go out March 71h with <br /> specific instructions for applications. Submission deadline March 151h. DPS JCPC policy is currently <br /> being edited by policy committee and feedback from JCPC program providers and local partners will be <br /> requested sometime next month. <br /> Q: Has there been any information on changes to JCPC fund allocations? <br /> A: No, not at this time, everything remains the same. <br /> Announcements- <br /> Carol McClelland: Freedom House Recovery Center has been the recipient of SAMHSA (Substance <br /> Abuse Mental Health Services Administration) grant called CCBHC. It is a two year grant targeted to <br /> provide services for people and families that don't have another way to access services, don't qualify for <br /> state funding, don't qualify for Medicaid, and/or don't have insurance. There has been challenges with <br /> kids with really high copays so services were unavailable or they had huge deductibles. This funding <br /> allows Freedom House to be able to provide services. Part of the agreement is help the individual get <br /> "attached"to a provider that is in network with their Health plan. <br /> Also, Hiring for a Licensed Clinician in Mental Health who can work with kids! <br />
