IV. Program / Project Updates
DJJ Core Grant
Jason Brennen from Northwestern discussed the DJJ CANS and 360 data system implementation progress as part of the DJJ core grant. They have been working with system partners and believe the 360 system will be on-line in the fall. Commissioner Jacobs believes we need to learn more about the process and the different systems as our programming focus is determined by this data. Chairman Timberlake added we have a responsibility to know how these tests are used and if they are beneficial. The Committee requested a one-page report summarizing progress, and asked that a more in-depth conversation be scheduled with Dana Weiner, DJJ, and Northwestern as the contractor for DJJ. Commissioner Velasquez noted that the Commission has spent a large amount of money assisting DJJ in this process and he wants more than just a DJJ focus, we need statewide policies and procedures for data collection, reporting, and analysis. The Commission will request that DJJ present formally on the progress of this grant at the July IJJC meeting
