Gary Levine (Public Defender s Office and Board Chair of AMI Kids) expressed concern about changes in the contract for Day Treatment programs to provide supervision later in the day. He asked, What is the mentality? He expressed concern that education, time with families, and transportation would be adversely affected. Rona Levitt (RN, educator, and board member of Informed Families) complimented Informed Families and would like to partner with prevention programs like Lock Your Meds and Red Ribbon Campaign. Roosevelt Walters (parent and community member) stated that we need to keep schools from sending kids to the juvenile justice system and prison. Page 7
8 Speaker Comments & Questions continued David Rosa (One Hope International prison Ministries) wanted to know how faith-based groups can interact with at-risk kids and prevent them from entering the system and what we are doing with foster kids to prevent them from entering the DJJ system. Judge Elijah Williams (Judge) asked why our nation is failing to educate our kids and what guarantee we have that the Roadmap will work. Stanley F. Turon (parent) wants to ensure kids are given job opportunities and wants part of the DJJ budget dedicated to ensuring kids get jobs if they drop out of school. Aggie Pappas (PACE Executive Director) wants intervention with girls at an early stage and guarantees that their small population is provided for. Gordon Weeks (Public Defenders Office) asked what measures we have in place to ensure the safety of the kids in our care and what we are going to do to address disproportionate minority contact. (Anonymous) Do you have any ideas or what do you think we can do as a community and agency to have more parents engaged in the success of their children and hold them more accountable? Barry Butin (Criminal Defense Attorney) suggested having a program where kids who stay in school and maintain a certain grade point average are given a computer. Page 8
9 Speaker Comments & Questions continued David Utter (Southern Poverty Law Center) agreed with the Roadmap s philosophy of providing the right service to the right kid at the right time and placing low risk kids and high risk placement makes them worse. He encouraged support from the community and law enforcement and reducing the youth population in the system helps reduce disproportionate minority contact. He said the Roadmap enhances public safety and civil rights and encourages adoption of the evidence-based Missouri model. Eleanor Sobel (Senator and Chair of the Children, Families, and Elder Affairs Committee) told the Secretary: You are a legend in the State of Florida and very aggressive and together we can accomplish a lot. She encouraged the silos in Broward County to work together to come up with solutions and not warehouse kids. Page 9

They could not be interested if they could not carry a profit. Example, that is why no one willing to take over detention centers. No one can operate a detention facility for as little money as a state operated facility. I wanted to ask about every student in Florida School should have a computer. Are there any programs coordinated with corporations that provide computers to students. If home on computer not outside maybe getting into trouble. Barry Butin Where was this advertised? I read 2 newspapers daily and only saw 2 letters The Secretary was extremely knowledgeable of situations addressed. I would have loved to see law enforcement at this meeting. Unfortunately I saw none. Would love to see a much longer meeting where you had a section for different topics. Page 14
15 A more comprehensive presentation of plan would have been helpful. Many people may not have read the plan in advance of the town hall meeting. Questions would have been better able to be grounded in the plan. Otherwise, the town hall format becomes an open air gripe session or providers lobbying for program dollars. More playtime at all schools (checkers, chess, activities.), more community involvement, less arrest, of our kids more playtime, care, jobs mean opportunity to learn life. Stanley Turon I would like to see DJJ in all Districts be on the same page. This roadmap will only work if the districts do not deter from the premise of the roadmap and put their own premise in place. Let s do this together, that is the only way it will work. The FCAT needs to be taken out of the schools and get back to teaching our children the right way and give them a fair chance to a better safe life. Remember to include parents in this plan. None at this time. I just hope that all the community providers, family, parents, etc. did not come out to speak in vain. I hope in the coming years I see results because I have come to realize that big departments/businesses will speak and agree with the community but will not do anything to produce results because it is not important. Law enforcement must be trained to not just place youth in jail because they want too. Mount Bethel human Services provides Intervention/Diversion services to The vision of our program can and does partner with the DJJ. Please do not overlook our need for program assistance for the organization that functions in real time working to strengthen and intervene at the most earliest point in a family crisis. Address rude and unprofessional supervisors including detention superintendents The Department is doing the best it can with the resources it had; however, paying the workers more, providing them with resources to help them make ends meet at home, which can include forgiving their student loans, giving cost of living increases will build morale around the agency. I thinking empowering the staff with DJJ is a way to stimulate creative thinking and dedicated workers. This will then allow the children to want to emulate the role the staff play in their lives. As a probation officer for seven years I would say we as the department are doing good. I want to see more funding for children programs, more JPO-N-Y interaction, less DMC and more community resources. What processes can be enacted to ensure that assessment recommendations are considered upon case disposition for those youth who are not voluntarily participating in community based services. Awesome event! Page 15
