Third-quarter accounting is the next task that is due for programs. Most programs have started looking at their programs and seeing if revisions are necessary. That deadline is towards the end of March. That also applies to JCPC Admin funds if money needs to be moved around. Chapel Hill City Schools and Orange County Schools have signed off on the partnership agreement. This agreement was part of the Raise the Age Legislation passed in 2019. It's an agreement pulling all community stake holders together to identify alternatives to sending youth to the juvenile justice system. There is a new policy revision for JCPC which was sent out to all program providers. The new policy revision will take place July 1'. The biggest area that changed in the policy was program managers qualifications for the position was made more lenient and flexible. The new Eekerd facility in Caswell County will open up in March and will have the capacity to serve 40 male youth. Youth who meet the criteria must be referred through juvenile justice systems. The female sight is in Vance County. Programs do not have to wait until third -quarter accounting to make budget revisions. Only revisions related to staff salaries or benefits will require a JCPC board vote.
