Statement of the Problem: In concise terminology, describe how the program will address continuum need(s) in the county. The juvenile court system in New Hanover County lacks court diversion programs for first-time offenders. NC DPS Division of Juvenile Justice County Databook 2019 reported 394 juvenile complaints and a delinquency rate of 15.69. Of those, 216 (55%) were minor Class 1-3 offenses. These types of defendants are less likely to re -offend. The DPI Consolidated Data Report 2019-2020 showed New Hanover County Schools had 74 reportable crimes, or 9.175 per 1.000, with 2,910 short-term suspensions and 10 long-term. The New Hanover County Risk and Needs Assessment 2019-2020 shows 42.9% of juveniles have a risk level of 3 or less. 61.2% have no prior adjudication. 87.1 % are age 12 or over at the time of their 1 st offense. 61.2% report moderate to serious school discipline issues. 61.2% report rejection by peers, negative peer association, or gang membership/affiliation. 59.9% report moderate to serious problems in school. 83% have mental health needs that have been addressed or need more assessment. 30.8% have prior assaultive behavior and 43.3% have a history of alcohol and substance use. 50.4% have prior referrals to juvenile court; 13% were under the age of 12 at referral. 46% have a family history of criminality or court/gang involvement. 46% of parents report marginal or inadequate parenting skills; while 21.4% report they are unable or unwilling to provide adequate supervision. CIS Teen Court will offer an alternative to juvenile court and an opportunity for first time offenders to avoid a court record/ It will provide comprehensive intervention and support to the juvenile participants, and will focus on diversion of misdemeanor offenses. Per the Juvenile Reinvestment Report from the N.C. Commission on the Administration of Law and Justice, evidence -based research suggests adolescents are less culpable than adults; the majority of youth offenders age out of the behavior with full maturity. CIS Teen Court will offer the opportunity to learn skills to manage negative behavior. CIS Teen Court will provide juveniles with a multi -faceted plan including Restorative Circles, essays/apology letters, future jury duty, monitoring of school attendance and academics, and referrals to restitution opportunities. Success in sentence completion and program participation will be monitored, and participants will be tracked one-year post - sentence completion to determine recidivism. CIS Teen Court will support protective factors to address the continuum of risk and needs in New Hanover County by providing evidence- and/or research -based programs shown to be effective with juvenile offenders; providing services that are outcome -based and evaluated; and collaborating with SRO's, the WPD, and the NHC Sheriff's Office to detect gang participation and make referrals to diversion programming. Additional benefits include addressing juvenile and family needs with a focus on prevention and education, and providing opportunities for effective service provider collaboration. 2. Target Population: Describe the target population, including age, and the steps taken to insure that the target population is served. Our target population is youth, ages 11-18, who have been petitioned or law enforcement referred for misdemeanor offenses. Partnerships with SROs, Juvenile Services, and District Court will allow these juvenile offenders the opportunity to participate in the Teen Court program if the Court Intake Counselor finds they are eligible, willing to admit responsibility for their actions, and willing to complete the program. If the offender successfully completes Teen Court sentencing requirements within a 90 -day period, his/her record will be completely cleared. The program will also provide opportunities, as applicable and at certain school sites, for participants to receive additional services at no cost, including but not limited to Restorative Justice Circles and Integrated Student Supports. Additionally, at -risk youth Form JCPC/PA 001 JCPC Program Agreement Form structure last revised 12/31/2012 Department of Public Safety DocuSign Envelope ID: OABBA8B6-6129-4473-8AB8-51 F01 E6751 DE SECTION III COMPONENT SUMMARY NAME OF COMPONENT: Teen Court and first-time offenders will be encouraged to volunteer in the program at the end of their sentence, continuing beneficial services and interaction with pro -social peers. A secondary population served by Teen Court is the parents/guardians of these juveniles. Through deep -reaching partnerships, CIS will strive to refer families to parenting education and support groups that focus on improving parenting skills and parent/child relationships, whereby introducing a preventative component to this intervention, as other siblings in the household may avoid the juvenile justice system by being exposed to better parenting and less discord. By focusing both the juvenile and the family on developing better coping skills, positive social activities and peer groups, and enhancing their knowledge and ability to have more positive interactions within their family, we will reduce the risk of re -offending or having other family members enter the juvenile justice system. 3. Program Goal(s): Provide a brief statement to describe the overall purpose of the program. The primary goal of the program is to reduce the number of juvenile offenders entering the court system. Juveniles accept responsibility for their actions and are held accountable by their peers. Defendants will receive sentences and for community service/restitution, jury duty at future Teen Court sessions, writing letters of apology, and counseling/educational sessions to learn coping mechanisms, and learn effective communication skills with peers/ parents/authority figures. Opportunities will be provided for juvenile offenders to participate in Restorative Justice Circles and in -school support services at no additional cost. Parents will be referred to programming to help them learn parenting skills, positive disciplinary techniques, and communication skills in addition to problem -solving current areas of concern. Through successful participation in Teen Court, a defendant can avoid a juvenile court record, which would negatively affect his/ her opportunities to enter college, trade school, the military, or obtain employment. 4. Measurable Objective(s): State in measurable terms (%) the intended effect of the program on specific undisciplined and/or delinquent behaviors. Example: anticipated reductions in court referrals, runaway behavior, disruptive behavior at school, anticipated improved school attendance and academic achievement. These objectives must include impact on participants. 75% Clients will have no new adjudications for a complaint with an offense date after the admission date. 75% Clients successfully/satisfactorily completing the program will have no new complaints in the 12 months following completion. 75% Clients will successfully or satisfactorily complete services as intended by the program design/service plan. 75% Clients successfully/satisfactorily completing the program will have no new adjudications in the 12 months following completion. 75% Clients will demonstrate improvement in developing and/or maintaining social and interpersonal interactions during program participation. 75% Clients will have no new complaints with an offense date after the admission date. 5. Elevated Risks and Needs: Describe how you will address one or more of the Elevated Risk and Needs of adjudicated juveniles listed in the local JCPC Request for Proposal. NC DPS Division of Juvenile Justice County Databook 2019 reported 394 juvenile complaints and a delinquency rate of 15.69. Of those, 216 (55%) were minor Class 1-3 offenses.

The New Hanover County Risk and Needs Assessment 2019-2020 shows 42.9% of juveniles have a risk level of 3 or less. 61.2% have no prior adjudication. 87.1 % are age 12 or over at the time of their 1 st offense. Teen Court is specifically designed to serve youthful 1 st time misdemeanor offenders who have a low likelihood of recidivism if they receive intervention and support, and an opportunity to learn from their experience and gain new skills. Per county Risk Data, 83% have mental health needs that have been addressed or need more assessment. CIS Teen Court will complete a basic risk assessment at intake and will work with community partners to ensure emotional/ mental health needs or issues from trauma are referred for proper assessment and intervention. Additional Risk Data shows that 61.2% report rejection by peers, negative peer association, or gang membership/ affiliation. 59.9% report moderate to serious problems in school. 30.8% have a history of prior assaultive behavior and 43.3% report alcohol and substance use. 50.4% have prior referrals to juvenile court; 13% were under the age of 12 at referral. CIS Teen Court will provide sentencing requirements that engage defendants in positive social situations and promote pro -social behaviors, which may include community service, apology letters, participation in mediations, Restorative Justice Circles, and serving as a juror at future Teen Court sessions. Juveniles will also be required to attend school, maintain satisfactory grades and show positive conduct, with compliance tracking. The Risk and Needs Assessment further identified that 46% have a family history of criminality or court/gang involvement, and 46% of parents report marginal or inadequate parenting skills. 21.4% of parents report they are unable or unwilling to provide adequate supervision, and 72% of juveniles exhibited moderate to serious school discipline issues. Addressing the needs of both the juvenile and family will be key to the success of CIS Teen Court. As appropriate, parents will be referred to educational classes and/or parenting groups to learn the importance of peer relationships and developing skills and confidence to help their teens establish new behavior patterns. In doing so, a shared sense of purpose will be established as they work together to improve behaviors and interactions with one another and their community. This multi -faceted family support approach will also help deter juveniles' siblings from entering the juvenile court system.

The Teen Court Coordinator will meet with/notify the referring agency as to the successful program completion of the juvenile. Any action other than a successful completion will be reviewed with the referring agency, parent and juvenile. Any juvenile offender who does not successfully complete Teen Court and comply with all guidelines will be deemed non-compliant, terminated from Teen Court and referred back to the referring agency. Reasons for unsuccessful completions would be if the offender re -offended either at school or within the community between their intake appointment and the 90 -day deadline for completion, or not completing any aspect of the program within the agreed-upon 90 -day window. Other terminations will include: - Refusal to participate in the program (at which point the offender will be referred back to the initial referring agency). - Moving out of state / County - Involuntary commitment of the offender How is the referring agency involved with the termination process?

Referring Agency Interaction: Describe the interaction with juvenile court counselors and/or other referring agencies including how client progress will be communicated. Referrals may be made by school resource officers, law enforcement, juvenile justice, district court, or area attorneys for youth ages 11-18 who have committed their first offense of less than an Al misdemeanor. The Teen Court Coordinator will make contact with the juvenile & their parent/guardian upon referral. A referral will not be accepted if the offender is over age 18 at the time of the offense, if the offender or parent/ guardian is not willing or able to complete all requirements of the Teen Court process, or if the offender has a record of prior offenses. If the offense is outside the parameters of offenses intended to be diverted to Teen Court, referral to Juvenile Court would be made. The Teen Court Coordinator will be responsible for conferring with the referral source for each case to ensure the referral is appropriate for Teen Court and that all relevant, required information has been provided to hear the case and determine sentencing. If the parent and student refuse to participate in the Teen Court Program, the Teen Court Coordinator will immediately notify the referral source. It is also the responsibility of the Teen Court Director to monitor all sentencing completion in determining the defendant's successful or unsuccessful completion of the Teen Court Program.

Intervention/Treatment: Describe specifically what the component will do to redirect inappropriate youth behavior or how the component will address the identified needs of the youth and family. What interventions will typically be utilized in this component and how will parents/guardians be involved? A structured service plan of learning (Sentence) will be developed for defendants to address behavior problems, drug - alcohol prevention and peer pressure. Sentencing will hold youth accountable for future actions including school attendance, achieving satisfactory grades, and not committing further offenses. Educational workshops for youth will provide skills to improve juvenile's decision making, communication, conflict resolution, and gang and drug resistance, thereby reducing negative behaviors. Participation in future Teen Court jury duty will increase the defendant's access to positive peers. Completion of community service will provide exposure to pro -social activities , positive role models and volunteerism, supporting positive character development. By attending the referred parenting classes as applicable, parents/guardians can learn better disciplinary techniques and communication that can be applied when working with their children, thus empowering them to become more effective, proactive parents. Youth listen to and are influenced by their peers. Juveniles who are held accountable for their behavior by their peers are more likely to listen and make changes to their behavior. Volunteer jurors recognize and "reward" positive behaviors such as after-school involvement, satisfactory grades, commitment to stay in school, Form JCPC/PA 001 JCPC Program Agreement Form structure last revised 12/31/2012 Department of Public Safety DocuSign Envelope ID: OABBA8B6-6129-4473-8AB8-51 F01 E6751 DE SECTION IV I COMPONENT NARRATIVE (attach for each component) NAME OF COMPONENT: I Teen Court and future goals, as seen in their jury verdict. In order to complete their constructive sentence, juveniles and their families work on family accountability and relationships. Healthy attitudes concerning family, discipline, consequences and education are encouraged and reinforced in peer circles and parenting groups. Community Service allows youth to work and learn from adults who support community activities and allows them to be exposed to positive activities that also serve others. Incentives, usually in the form of a snack prior to the start of each Teen Court session or a year end gathering for recognition of service, is provided to students who volunteer their time to hear the cases of their peers. The use of incentives helps contribute to their commitment to the program and shows they are appreciated and valued as part of the Teen Court process. 9. Best Practice Model: Describe what model or evidence-supported/best practice the program is based upon. CIS Teen Court program will use the National Youth Court Guidelines - authored by Tracy Godwin with Michelle Heward and Thomas Spina. According to the National Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention, "these best practice guidelines were developed by a panel of experts in the following program areas: program planning and community organization, program staffing and funding, legal issues, identified respondent population and referral process, program services and sentencing options, volunteer recruitment and management, volunteer training, operations and case management, and program evaluation. Guidelines were developed to promote best practices, effectiveness, and program accountability." Restorative practices to deal with crime and wrongdoing are recognized as evidence -based practices according to extensive research and there is support now too that restorative justice is evidence -based for school discipline. The Council of State Governments issued a report in 2014 and recommends restorative practices for school discipline and states that it is evidence based along with other interventions including Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (PBIS). p. 14 (http://csgjusticecenter.org/wpcontent/uploads/2014/06/ The_School_Discipline_Consensus_Re port.pdf) The CIS Model of Integrated Students Supports is supported by research from organizations including Child Trends and the Everyone Graduates Center at Johns Hopkins University. Child Trends asked the question, "Does ISS Work?" and embarked on a comprehensive and rigorous review of the "theoretical, empirical, practice and evaluation findings that underlie integrated students supports as an approach". (Child Trends White Paper, February 2014) Key findings support the CIS Model. Emerging evidence from quasi -experimental studies (including CIS National) finds that ISS can contribute to decreases in grade retention and school dropout, and increases in attendance, math achievement and overall GPA. As a student -centered approach, ISS is firmly grounded in the research on child and youth development. Providing an array of academic and non-academic supports in a coordinated manner (as in the CIS Model) is more effective than a focus on one or a few supports. Child Trends concludes that evidence supports the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of integrated student supports to improve educational outcomes. Additionally, all mediation and Restorative Justice Circle facilitators will have been formally trained and/or certified to implement the respective intervention / support with fidelity.

Statement of the Problem: In concise terminology, describe how the program will address continuum need(s) in the county. Conflict between youth in a school or community setting is a natural occurrence and is typically thought of in a negative way, however that perception can be re -framed to view conflict as an opportunity for growth. Mediation and restorative justice practices are tools that can be utilized to help facilitate this growth and to promote positive conflict resolutions. Conflict presents itself in almost every facet of our lives at some point, so we should equip youth at an early age with skills they need to positively resolve conflict, whereby avoiding escalation of the conflict, or leading to more negative, potentially criminal behaviors. Peer relationships are the focal point of adolescent development and our youth need to be educated in conflict resolution in an effort to support healthy relationships and yield positive outcomes. When conflicts occur, most youth lack the developmental maturity to resolve issues without adult guidance. Not only is it important to work with youth to help build their skills, but it is necessary to create and support climates where mediation/conflict resolution is fostered. Implementing restorative justice practices within our schools is one strategy proven to yield success on this front. Mediation and Restorative Justice are philosophies of repairing the harm done by crime by involving the parties affected by the crime. Using Restorative Justice principles, trained staff will facilitate a structured process through which the victim and juvenile offender, and other parties involved (or affected by the offense), sit down together in a safe environment with a neutral, trained facilitator. Through this process, the juvenile is held accountable for the offense, the victim can discuss the impact of the offense, and both parties negotiate together what should be done to repair the harm that was done. Program participation will be voluntary and confidential. Using these models, juveniles are diverted from court, but are still held accountable for their actions. Juveniles need to learn from an early age how to resolve disputes. Frequently, disputes that could be resolved quickly and easily turn into major disagreements because students have never been taught valuable conflict resolution skills and techniques. Youth need to learn in a structured setting how to use techniques to resolve issues in a peaceful, respectful manner. Many times, juveniles are charged with crimes due to the fact that there are few alternative solutions. A diversionary program such as this can assist juveniles after adjudication. There are few resources to address criminal behavior in juveniles prior to adjudication and as a result, many students fail to understand the consequences of their behavior and continue to re -offend. These children continue to experience high rates of school suspensions, create victims within the community, and are repeatedly referred into the criminal justice system. 2. Target Population: Describe the target population, including age, and the steps taken to insure that the target population is served. The target population for the CIS Mediation / Restorative Justice Program is middle and high school students (ages 11 to 18) referred by New Hanover County Schools administrators, school resource officers/law enforcement, or juvenile court counselors. This program is designed to serve youth on diversion plans, or youth that are at -risk, and will accept clients involved in verbal and physical altercations. Youth who are at risk for becoming involved in more serious infractions at school, in the community, or with law enforcement would also benefit from this program. Participants will have the opportunity to work through their dispute in a face-to-face setting with a trained, adult facilitator guiding them through the process. They would then have the opportunity to continue to work with the facilitator either individually, or together as needed. Many of our students live close together and bring neighborhood Form JCPC/PA 001 JCPC Program Agreement Form structure last revised 12/31/2012 Department of Public Safety DocuSign Envelope ID: OABBA8B6-6129-4473-8AB8-51 F01 E6751 DE SECTION III COMPONENT SUMMARY NAME OF COMPONENT: Mediation / Restorative Justice problems into the schools, or vice versa. By creating a program allowing for referrals from the schools and the juvenile system, we aim to divert problems that may continue in the community until they are dealt with and a resolution is found. By utilizing mediation / restorative justice tools, guided by a trained facilitator, participating youth will gain an understanding of what drives their conflict, as well as how to appropriately and safely find resolutions thereto. Parents and families can also benefit from engaging in this work. School administration and the SROs will be involved in student referrals at the school level. When fights take place, the SRO and administration will determine if they are appropriate for referral to mediation / restorative justice intervention. Juvenile court counselors and probation officers would make direct referrals to the mediation program as a means of diversion. This would be a first step, prior to teen court referral, if deemed appropriate for referral, following the School -Justice Partnership Agreement guidelines. 3. Program Goal(s): Provide a brief statement to describe the overall purpose of the program. The overall purpose of the program is to provide youth with life-long conflict resolution skills. We aim to work with youth who have behavior programs, anger issues, and/or poor social skills. If students can learn how to resolve conflicts, referrals to School Resource Officers and Juvenile Court should be lower. This in turn would keep students in school and hopefully keep them on track for graduation from high school. Through Mediation/Restorative Justice practices, students will be given the opportunity to think in a creative manner about how to resolve their conflicts without resorting to name calling, fighting, angry feelings, or even sad feelings because of feeling unable to control their issues. Mediation/Restorative Justice will provide a healthy atmosphere in which students will be guided through a structured process and allowed the opportunity to focus their energy and attention on positively affecting change. The focus becomes one of problem solving rather than getting even or hurting others in some way. The Mediation/Restorative Justice Program would be offered as an alternative prior to a referral to teen court in some situations. The Mediation/Restorative Justice process provides participants with a structured way to settle an issue within the school or community, and the outcomes/resolutions will be the solutions that have been agreed upon by all parties involved. As with most agreements, juveniles usually follow through more readily when they are involved in developing a solution that they feel comfortable with. If students have more control over the outcome, they typically will more readily follow through with the agreed upon resolution plan. Other goals of this program include the following: 1) Provide mediation or restorative justice services to New Hanover County juveniles to reduce the number of criminal complaints sent to the criminal justice system, and to reduce the number of school suspensions. 2) Provide mediation and restorative justice services as a court diversion program. 3) Provide a safe, impartial atmosphere for juveniles to learn how to resolve conflicts. 4) Teach our youth how to address conflicts in peaceful manner. 5) Using interventions early on to resolve conflicts that could escalate into more serious conflict. 4. Measurable Objective(s): State in measurable terms (%) the intended effect of the program on specific undisciplined and/or delinquent behaviors. Example: anticipated reductions in court referrals, runaway behavior, disruptive behavior at school, anticipated improved school attendance and academic achievement. These objectives must include impact on participants. Form JCPC/PA 001 JCPC Program Agreement Form structure last revised 12/31/2012 Department of Public Safety DocuSign Envelope ID: OABBA8B6-6129-4473-8AB8-51 F01 E6751 DE SECTION III I COMPONENT SUMMARY NAME OF COMPONENT: I Mediation / Restorative Justice 75% Clients will have no new adjudications for a complaint with an offense date after the admission date. 75% Clients will demonstrate accountability for their actions within the scope of the mediation process. 75% Clients will successfully or satisfactorily complete services as intended by the program design/service plan. 75% Clients successfully/satisfactorily completing the program will have no new complaints in the 12 months following completion. 75% Clients will have no new complaints with an offense date after the admission date. 75% Clients will enter into a mediation agreement. 75% Clients successfully/satisfactorily completing the program will have no new adjudications in the 12 months following completion. 5. Elevated Risks and Needs: Describe how you will address one or more of the Elevated Risk and Needs of adjudicated juveniles listed in the local JCPC Request for Proposal. This program will address behavior problems, poor peer relationships, and youth with aggressive behaviors. Schools, SROs, juvenile court counselors, or probation officers may refer students to mediation for verbal or physical altercations. During the mediation and/or restorative justice sessions, the trained adult facilitator will guide the juvenile offender and victim through a structured process through which they will address the cause of the altercation and work to repair the relationship. By teaching juveniles how to peacefully resolve their issues, we can prevent their conflicts from becoming physical or continuing to cause other disruptive behaviors or feelings. Designed as an option for resolving issues prior to being referred to Teen Court or to Juvenile Court, this program will help to prevent school fights, community problems, and/or behaviors that result in charges of assault, affray and disorderly conduct. Schools and juvenile court staff may use the program as a preventive measure when they realize juveniles are having problems, but before those problems culminate in assaultive or disruptive behavior. The mediation/ restorative justice process provides an opportunity to assist participants in understanding the underlying issues related to their problem, a chance for the offender to take full responsibility, and a chance for the offender and the victim to enter into an agreement which will repair the harm that has already been done. Upon receiving a referral, the participants will be contacted by the program coordinator to schedule a meeting. Participants will initially meet individually with the program coordinator and, if applicable, the CIS Student Support Specialist at their school, in an effort to prepare them for an eventual face to face meeting with the other youth(s) involved. These meetings will take place at a designated office at the participants' school. When the facilitator feels the participants are ready, the face-to-face mediations/restorative justice session(s) will occur. The first part of the session provides an opportunity for the participants to meet and learn more about each other and how they have been harmed during the altercation, etc. Next, the participants will inform each other about why and how the conflict occurred. This allows an opportunity to gain much needed information from each other and to more fully understand what led them to this situation. After this, each participant identifies their losses; and finally, the parties enter into an agreement that spells out what actions will be taken to repair the damage done by the behavior. The mediator/facilitator or the referring agency may determine additional sessions are required for both clients, or individually, and will plan accordingly. If the agreement is fulfilled and the parties are satisfied, the case will be closed and follow up will be provided to ensure the participants continue to honor the agreements that they have agreed to follow.

Location: List physical address(es) and describe where program services are delivered. Mediations/Restorative Justice activities will take place in an office at the participants' school. Preferably, this space will allow for a conference table where students and the mediator can meet in a quiet, professional location. The space needs to be in an environment free from noise and from the traffic of other activities at the school so that the meetings can remain confidential, and in a safe zone, where students feel comfortable speaking and following through as they attend meetings. If school space is not available, they will take place at the CIS Youth Center, WIRE, 1102 Orange Street, Wilmington, NC 28401. 2. Operation: Describe the daily/weekly schedule of program operation. Mediations / Restorative Justice sessions will be held at the participants' school during the school day, or outside of school hours at the CIS Youth Center, WIRE, 1102 Orange Street, Wilmington, NC 28401. The Teen Court / Restorative Justice Program Coordinator will process referrals, schedule intakes, consult with the referring agencies, and follow up with parents, completing all required NC Allies documentation and any other tasks deemed appropriate. If applicable, they will coordinate with the CIS Student Support Specialist on site at the school to schedule restorative sessions and will provide training for staff as needed, utilizing the assistance of Professor Kim Cook from UNC Wilmington. 3. Staff Positions: Describe paid or volunteer position qualifications, (certifications, degrees, work experience) and position(s) responsibilities relative to this component. The Teen Court / Restorative Justice Program Coordinator will be the trained mediator and will manage this program. They will have at least a bachelor's degree or higher in political science, criminal justice, law, social work, sociology, counseling, or of similar background. The program coordinator will also complete mediation training, and ensure the training is kept current. Additionally, existing CIS school-based staff who are trained in restorative practices may facilitate sessions at their school sites. The successful Teen Court / Restorative Justice Program Coordinator will be self-directed and responsible for making school administrators, school resource officers, and juvenile court staff aware of the opportunities for providing this program. They will have extensive experience working with at -risk youth and families and be willing to go the extra mile as needed in an effort to plan and implement this program. They must be professional in working with youth, parents, and school administrators, as well as SRO's and court staff. They will attend any JCPC required conferences or seminars, as well all DPS required program orientations and trainings, and will document program data in NC Allies as required by all JCPC funded programs. 4. Service Type SPEP: Describe implementation to include: This program is a STRUCTURE ONLY. 5. Admission Process: Describe the specific referral, screening, admission process (including timeline), the staff responsible for making decisions about admissions and reasons why a referral may not be accepted. Referrals will be received from school administrators, school resource officers, juvenile court counselors, or law enforcement officials. This program may be used by juvenile counselors as part of the diversion plans. The program coordinator will receive and process the referral, then schedule the intake sessions at the participant's school. During this intake, all agreements will be signed and materials explaining the program activities and goals will be given to Form JCPC/PA 001 JCPC Program Agreement Form structure last revised 12/31/2012 Department of Public Safety DocuSign Envelope ID: OABBA8B6-6129-4473-8AB8-51 F01 E6751 DE SECTION IV COMPONENT NARRATIVE (attach for each component) NAME OF COMPONENT: Mediation / Restorative Justice youth and parents as needed. All information will be documented in NC Allies. It is extremely important for the program coordinator to meet with the student who is being referred within the week that the referral is received, or at the beginning of the next week if the referral is received at the end of a given week, to ensure timely conflict resolution. Mediation/restorative justice sessions should begin immediately after it is determined that a referral is appropriate - middle and high school youth do not need to wait for several weeks for a conflict to be resolved. The ideal is for all sessions to begin and be completed within a ten-day time period, though support services may continue as needed. This program will provide the flexibility of serving clients on a one-time basis, or by providing additional follow-up sessions as needed. For some cases, the resolution may be resolved and the terminations made after one session. For others, the mediation process may require additional sessions or more activities for completion of the program. 6. Termination Process: Describe the termination process to include the staff responsible for making decisions and the criteria for a successful termination, satisfactory termination, unsuccessful completion and non-compliant termination. Once the mediation/restorative justice sessions have been completed, the program coordinator will follow up with the youth for a minimum of 30 days after termination to ensure the conflict remains resolved, and will include the referring agency in this process. Youth will be allowed to participate in additional sessions if the conflict is not completely resolved, or if the agreement needs to be revisited. The program coordinator and/or session facilitator and the referring agency will determine if one session is adequate for the clients or if additional hours/work needs to be involved. The program coordinator will remain in contact with the referring agency while these needs are assessed. After 90 days, clients will be terminated unless the referral source requests another mediation or unless youth needs additional support/reinforcement of mediation concepts. If the conflict is resolved, the termination will be successful. If the problem continues after several attempts at mediation during the 90 -day period, the termination will be considered unsuccessful. Non-compliant termination would result if there is no progress and the mediation is never completed. How is the referring agency involved with the termination process? The program coordinator will also follow up with the referring agency as needed during this process to find out if the problem has been resolved, and to determine if there are any positive or negative behavior changes. The referring agency will be involved as the plan for the client is developed. Emails and phone calls are considered essential during this process. Weekly follow-up with the referral agency may be needed in some cases. The referring agency will be contacted to determine any additional assistance that is needed in working with clients. 7. Referring Agency Interaction: Describe the interaction with juvenile court counselors and/or other referring agencies including how client progress will be communicated. The program coordinator will be in constant contact with the referral source throughout the intake, enrollment, and mediation/restorative justice process. Additionally, they will communicate weekly with referral sources and participants after the mediation/restorative justice sessions have been completed. The agreement plan will be discussed with the referring source to discuss progress and to determine if the plan has been successfully completed. All parties will be allowed to provide feedback as to whether or not there are additional issues between participants. Communication will be made when the referral is received, after intake, after mediation, and follow up communication during the 30 days. Communication with the referring agency will be critical for feedback to the program coordinator.

Intervention/Treatment: Describe specifically what the component will do to redirect inappropriate youth behavior or how the component will address the identified needs of the youth and family. What interventions will typically be utilized in this component and how will parents/guardians be involved? Parents will be notified of whether a client is eligible or ineligible to participate in mediation/restorative justice sessions. Parental consent will be required and program sessions and activities will vary depending upon the need of the individual client. Mediation/Conflict resolution sessions, Restorative Justice Circles, and social skill building will be the focus of the program. Some cases may be successfully resolved after the first session. However, the mediator or session facilitator will determine what the plan will consist of, and whether or not additional sessions should be required. If inappropriate behavior is observed during this program, every effort will be made to schedule additional one -to-one meetings with students. Some students may need the additional support in an effort to prepare them for the actual mediation. If a parent does not give consent or if a student refuses to cooperate, they will not participate in the program. During this process other issues could arise indicating the need for other services, such as the services of the school counselor or social worker, or additional mental health supports. If there are needs that indicate immediate danger, the necessary agencies will be contacted. Parent/guardians will be involved as needed. 9. Best Practice Model: Describe what model or evidence-supported/best practice the program is based upon. Evidence -based practices/programs to be implemented within the CIS Mediation/Restorative Justice Program include, but are not limited to, Mediation, Restorative Practices, and the CIS model of integrated student supports. Mediation is a restorative process that provides an opportunity for the victim to meet the offender in a safe space to resolve a conflict assisted by a trained mediator. The models to be used are victim -offender mediation and basic mediation. Using these models, juveniles are diverted from court, but held accountable for their actions. Restorative practices to deal with crime and wrongdoing are recognized as evidence -based practices according to extensive research, which supports that restorative justice is also evidence -based for school discipline. In its 2014 report, the Council of State Governments recommends restorative practices for school discipline, stating that it is evidence -based along with other interventions including Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). The CIS Model of Integrated Students Supports is supported by research from organizations including Child Trends and the Everyone Graduates Center at Johns Hopkins University. As a student -centered approach, ISS is firmly grounded in the research on child and youth development. Providing an array of academic and non-academic supports in a coordinated manner (as in the CIS Model) is more effective than a focus on one or a few supports. Child Trends concludes that evidence supports the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of integrated student supports to improve educational outcomes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, the Sponsoring Agency shall not be relieved of liability to DPS for damages sustained by DPS by virtue of the Sponsoring Agency's breach of this agreement, and DPS may withhold any payment due the Sponsoring Agency for the purpose of setoff until such time as the exact amount of damages due DPS from such breach can be determined.

Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign, Inc. (DocuSign) electronic signing system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the a€ -I agreea€TM button at the bottom of this document. Getting paper copies At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign signer account, you may access them for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per -page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below. Withdrawing your consent If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below. Consequences of changing your mind If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must withdraw your consent using the DocuSign a€ -Withdraw Consenta€TM form on the signing page of a DocuSign envelope instead of signing it. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us. All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures electronically from us.

We do not require any other information from you to change your email address..
