Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost
No fiscal impact or change to net county cost as this report is informational only.
Background
On April 29, 2014, the Board approved the submittal of the Probation Department's re-application and plan to the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) for continued funding of the County's Community Alliance Truancy (CART) Program from the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) (14-0574, Item No. 17). Subsequently, BSCC received our application package and gave final approval for funding on June 9, 2014.
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, beginning October 15, 2002, and annually each October 15 thereafter, to the county board of supervisors and the Board of State and Community Corrections, in a format specified by the board (BSCC), on the programs funded pursuant to this chapter and program outcomes as specified in subparagraph (C)."
Reason for Recommendation
In accordance with the BSCC requirement, the Probation Department is submitting this annual progress report to the Clerk of the Board's Office prior to the October 15, 2014 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, 2014 outcomes are detailed in the attached report.
Action(s) to be taken following Board approval
1) The Board of Supervisors' Clerk shall receive and file the 2013/14 Progress Report for Community Alliance to Reduce Truancy (CART)
2) The Clerk of the Board to provide Probation with two certified copies of Agenda Item 14-1195.
