FUNDING: JJCPA.
Body
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: This report is informational only, no impact on Net County Cost.
Background:
On April 27, 2010 the Board approved the submittal of the Probation Department's re-application and plan to the Corrections Standard Authority (CSA) for continued funding of the CART Program from the JJCPA (10-0342, Item No. 21). Subsequently, CSA received our application package and gave final approval for funding on May 17, 2010.
The statute governing the JJCPA is Government Code Section 30061(4)(E)(i) which requires the following: "Each County, or City and County, shall report, annually each October 15, to the County Board of Supervisors and the CSA, in a format specified by CSA, on the programs funded pursuant to this chapter and program outcomes specified in subparagraph (C)."
Reason for Recommendation:
The Probation Department has submitted the required annual report to CSA on September 21, 2011. As required by CSA, Probation is respectfully submitting this annual progress report to the Board of Supervisors prior to the October 15, 2011 deadline.
Program effectiveness is measured by eight standards: arrest rate, completion of probation, incarceration rate, rate of completion of restitution, rate of completion of court-ordered community service, probation violation rate, grade point average, and unexcused class absence rate. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 outcomes are detailed in the attached report.
Reason for Recommendation:
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1) The Board of Supervisors' Clerk shall receive and file the 2010/11 Progress Report for Community Alliance to Reduce Truancy (CART).
2) The Board Clerk to provide Probation with two certified copies of Agenda Item 11-1100.
