Numbers for 1st Det Acad
The detention academy was discussed, along with rules for certification
and classification. When Classification
is adopted, there will not be blanket grandfathering, but everyone that does
not want to go to the academy will have to pass a competency test. Certification discussed and will be done at
first(voluntary, not mandatory) with classification following in a short period
of time. Doug praised Valerie Hoyjberg for the job she is doing for the JJ
Training council. Bill handed out a
handout for assigning numbers for the first academy.
Training coordinator for IACJJA.
Doug discussed possible having a training coordinator for IACJJA. It was suggested by Mike Stallcup that the
two VP’s work together as training coordinators. Motioned, seconded by John Triplett. Unanimously passed.
Legislation to duplicate IC 20-627
Steve Jett brought up the fact that Idaho Code 20-627 covers jails and
not juvenile detention centers. It was
agreed that Steve will draft wording to cover this. With the proper wording, the law could cover juvenile
correctional institutions, also, so we will present this to DJC at a later
time.
Legislation to pay for year-round school 3B not here to comment on this issue. Region I has dropped summer school this year because of the lack
of funding. Region II has found a way
to count the ADA and run it through the summer school. Will be tabled for the next meeting

Portion of the sale of each plate to go to develop pro-social activity
in each county under the direction of the sheriff.
Juvenile Probation Standards draft--John Triplett The draft with some corrections was
