Agenda Item

Discuss and approve School Based Diversion Program Resolution for Juvenile Services Department

Background

First year requested funding for the School Based Diversion Program grant in the amount of $50,000, from the Governor's Office. The money received from this grant will be used to hire one full-time employee to coordinate this program. The School Based Diversion Coordinator will recruit, train, and manage county-wide volunteers that will help divert first-time truancy offenders from involvement with the Juvenile Justice System. This is a three year decreasing percentage grant, and as outlined in the department's MOU with the school districts, Title I money will be used in future years to fund this position.
