0920 hrs. Demonstration of CD-based curriculum by Marcy Chadwell and Doug Grave

· The CD based curriculum that is being developed by the POST staff was demonstrated. The software tracks amount of time the student spends on the course, grades, quizzes, etc. Very impressive. The cost is rather high, running around $12000-15000 for an 8 hour course.

0950 hrs. JJ Training Council/P.O.S.T. Update IACJJA Reps and IAC Reps

· Al brought us up to date on some of the things that are going on in the Training Council. Code of Ethics for Juvenile Probation Officers was discussed. Some changes were made after feedback from judges. Administering the Codes of Ethics may be done for Challenge students while they are at the academy, or they may be administered by a local magistrate back at their place of employment.

· Reserve Officer Training Curriculum. Steve passed out the Detention Academy Course Objectives and also notes from the November 3 meeting regarding Reserve Juvenile Academy curriculum. He requested that the administrators return and request that their POST Instructors go through their LPs and rewrite to meet the Reserve Academy needs.

· Reserve Officer Minimum Hours/year in service or training. Brian brought up the idea that there should be a certain minimum amount of hours that each reserve officer must serve or attend training.

1000 hrs. Discussion on Juvenile with Adolescents with Sexually Aggressive Behaviors.

• Cody Woods from the Department of Juvenile Corrections addressed us on how the department has developed their sex offender treatment. Handout was provided. He explained some of the foundations and guidelines for the treatment program as well as some of the results that have been documented. A lot of information can be viewed at www.csom.com.
• Debbie Stallcup has been in contact with Ian Curley of the NCJFCJ and he is interested in attending the June mtg in Salmon to address us. Expenses were discussed.
• Matt brought up that we will have Cody back in a year to report, Chris from 3-Springs to report at the September meeting, and have Ian up to our June Meeting. It was motioned by Steve to explore having Ian up to address us at the June meeting, and that Debbie will contact him to get a estimate of costs. Mike S seconded and passed unanimously.

1130 hrs. Committee Reports Committee Reps

Board of Juvenile Corrections President

• Matt updated us on the Board’s last meeting. The goals of increased family involvement and increased communication were discussed at the Board meeting.
• The RFP for Private Providers was discussed briefly

Youth and Justice Advisory President

ICCMH (Tabled for DHW rep discussion after lunch)

IJOS Board IACJJA’s IJOS Rep Nadine McDonald

• The programmers are almost finished moving to Nampa.
• The next meeting will be in Nampa around the middle of February.
• A question was asked about the information that will be accessible to SRO’s. IJOS can allow different access levels from county to county.

Governor’s Task Force

• RFP for home schooling information has gone out. Please keep estimates and stats on any children that we know of that have been removed from a regular school, but are not in any viable education program anywhere.

Legislative Committee

• Brian passed out the responses that he received on legislation that has been proposed by DJC to 20-504. The concern is that the bill is not specific as to what ‘community based’ really means. This may possibly open up an avenue to place committed kids right back in the community. It was motioned by John that the President of the Association attach the responses to a copy of the bill and a cover letter asking for a member of the IAC legislative committee to work with our Legislative Committee Chairman and forward this to IAC so that they know our concerns. It was seconded by Mike Stallcup. Passed unanimously.

Other Committees

1200 hrs. Lunch

1230 hrs. Call To Order President

1230 hrs. DHW Update DHW Rep

• No rep

1330 hrs. DJC topics DJC Rep

• Bill Lasley talked about the SRF(standardized report form), and the response that has been received. The standards committee reviewed it yesterday. Also, some practices and terminology through the different areas of the state make it a bit difficult to get uniform information statewide.
• We tried to settle the question of whether a UDT needs to be reported on the SRF to DJC or if we just PV the SJO to the JDC, prior to commitment to DJC for transport to JMC for O&A and then on to JCC-L, JCC-E or JCC-W, then have the DL report back to the JSC who notifies the JPO, or if we just QNR the SJO. (This actually was not the discussion, but the secretary was bored and is trying to see if anyone reads the minutes. Those who catch this and notify the secretary by email will be rewarded at the next meeting.)
• Mike Seifrit’s contact info is 465 8443 x174 or email at mseifrit@djc.state.id.us
• Funding announcements were passed out on Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws, and the Balanced and Restorative Justice.
• JAIBG will be gradually reduced in amounts.
• Private Provider RFP will be out soon. Details are sketchy at this point, but it will be out soon. Once it is out, meetings will be set up with the stakeholders, and we (IACJJA) are identified as a stakeholder.
• Role of the District Liaisons were discussed. From 1995 until now, the role has changed. Gone from 7 to 4 statewide. What was originally a more hands-on approach has changed because of changing responsibilities and expanding jurisdictions. Different projects have been assigned to DL’s, some of which have been shelved because of growing responsibilities. They are still in a liaison position. Bill supervises all of the other DL’s, so if there is a problem with another DL, please contact him. Since the state budget has been mandated to stay the same, there will probably not be another DL added to help in Region 6 and 7.
• A question was asked about the roles of the JSC’s. They are the primary case manager for the kids. There are approximately 2 in each district. Bill will invite Donna Hyslop to the March Meeting to address us on the role of the JSC’s.

Training issues were addressed. Items that were suggested include:

• Work program
• Drug Court
• It was suggested that as we travel to each part of the state, we have an administrator or administrators present a few minutes on their programs and how they are doing. We would also like reports on any unique programs and their success.

1400 hrs. Adjournment
