New Business  FY2026 Q3 Agency Case Plan Progress-Bonnie Mejia & Mary Pollock (See Report) Bonnie: This will be voted on after the next quarter for Year-end. I just want to be transparent about what we're doing in the year.  Q3 JCAB Grant Program Updates Bonnie Mejia York: Bonnie, Curtis and I will be reaching out to our Community Partners with specific questions about their programming, community service hours and what Program is offering community service. My request to you is to have your logs prepared and ready so we can get answers to specific questions we have. There is almost 1 million dollars for funding from the Dept. of Corrections to our County. The JCAB Board has fiduciary responsibility with respect to those monies. I understand that those funds in which these monies are coming from are going to be depleted in the next couple of years. We are fortunate enough to have these grants today because we may not enjoy these funds in FY27-FY28. We want to encourage our Community Partners to seek out other 1 funding/resources so that if the day comes and these grants are no longer available you haven't relied solely on these funds.  Jegna Klub-Moses (See Report) York: Moses, I looked at your report on specific programming hours and I have some questions. Programming hours with youth in detention is not possible. My understanding the Jegna Klub has not been back in the Detention Center. Community service hours on dates youth are in the Detention Center are not possible. Look at your report and let's make sure we have accurate dates of any hours that are being claimed. I did a brief Google search on Network Solution. It resulted in a Podcast put out by a Dr. Natanya W regarding Psychedelic insights. I’m a little concerned about the philosophy of what those principles are for Network Solution. Moses: We do not have anything to do with that. They help us in promoting our services to a larger audience, 150 radio stations globally, on our radio shows through the network of media. Network Solutions also provided course work on Trauma Informed services York: Thank you. Are there any other questions? Moses: I will look at those dates and get back with you.  Lowriding 2 Success Bike Club-Martin Cervantes (See Report) York: The timely reporting of community services and programming hours is very important for our coordinators. Just a reminder.  Lowriding 2 Success Bike Club Experience-Jaxson Dade Jaxson: I have been in the Lowriding 2 Success Bike Club for a year. My father passed away when I was 16 years. I started doing bad things, hanging out with the wrong crowd. When I moved back to Kansas City, I was put on probation. My ISO signed me up for Lowriding 2 Success Bike Club because it looked like the coolest thing I could get into. I wanted to do something that was going to interest me. I was in a shell. As a kid I was out there. When I joined the club, everyone acted like they knew me forever. They feel like friends and family. Every Tuesday and Wednesday I made it a point to go to the club. It became a big part of my life. I talk to the young ones as if they're my little brothers. I understand it's easier to talk to younger ones than older ones because older ones don't understand what we're going through in our generation. There is a difference between my generation and my mother’s generation. I like to talk with the youth that are like me who didn't have anyone to talk to when I needed it. The club is motivating for the kids, even the ones who don't want to talk much. They still end up doing better for being rewarded for something. Some kids are happy to be there with the students, and some are still reserved (little iffy) about the club but every single student I've seen has warmed up, 2 becoming one of us. I haven't seen one student who stayed to themselves. I wouldn't change anything at all. York: Jaxson what has been your favorite part of participating? Jaxson: The car shows and meeting new people. I've become a part of the whole community. I had friends that I was messing up with and getting in trouble. It’s nice to be a part of the right community. To be able to come to things like this. I'd never believe it in a million years that Mr. C would ask me to come to this meeting to speak. York: Jaxson, you are a wonderful representative of youth in our community. Someone who can make the change, surrounding yourself around people who are interested in helping you toward the ultimate success. You are open to that I appreciate that you were willing to come and speak with this group. That’s not an easy thing and I appreciate it. We’d like to hear from more youth who participated in programming. We will be inviting others. Jaxson: Besides being a mechanic, I want to be a mentor. I don't think I'll ever leave the Bike club. It's a part of who I am. My mom comes to the car shows to see what we are doing. My girlfriend will go with me to the club every Tuesday. It’s become a part of who I am, so I don't think I'll change. Martin: With that motivation I may have to step down. Jaxson: And take over Mr. C's spot one day. Max: Jaxson's engagement with our partnership and with Lowriding helps provide evidence-based curriculum. I can tell you Jaxson has a way of being able to engage in the rest of the group. He will jump into the curriculum and will hold the other students accountable and get the conversations going. He’s not afraid to speak about some of the hard topics that come up in the curriculum, so with that group we're using the curriculum together. Talking about the hard issues these young people go through in a trauma- informed approach. Jaxson just has a way of talking about the curriculum and putting it in a frame that meets the rest of the young people at their level. I've seen how he has grown. His ability to not being afraid to speak is amazing. Sometimes when the rest of the group is quiet Jaxson comes in and gets the conversations started. I echo everything Judge York says. Jaxson has a lot of potential. I can see him facilitating and running programs. Keep up the good work. It has been amazing being in partnership with Lowriding 2 Success Bike Club. Dayton has a certification in welding. I'm working with him. He is so excited to be a part of the Lowriding Club working with Mr. C and bringing in the skills he has. Dayton has been able to go through the system and take advantage of the opportunities. Mr. C, it’s been a great partnership working with you. It’s been amazing. Edward who has graduated came back as a mentor. These guys have some powerful rockstar youth that are contributing to the rest of the group. York: Thank you, Max. 3   Connections to Success-Jeff (See Report) York: I was able to see some photos of the young men in their suits. They looked so dapper, so handsome and proud in their suits. There was a problem with one of their suits and his brother gave him his. He was so proud to be wearing that suit. Jeff: It makes a difference. It transforms their mentality and their thought process. I'm more than what my current circumstances tell me what I am. I got to talk with one of the participants’ fathers. You could see the tears in his eyes. Our greatest victims are often the parents. So, seeing them walking strides and continuing to push through things that are uncomfortable and challenging makes them proud. Jaxson is the key to overcoming some of those barriers. I hope we continue to provide inspiration. Scott: Jeff, I'm not familiar with your program. Can you give me a brief overall of the services you provide and what you do to help kids to graduate. Jeff: We service youth with our cognitive behavior curriculum training. It begins with personal and professional development where we move through a pathway of cognitive. It addresses some of the barriers making behavioral changes with interview skills, resume writing, professional development. Then we partner with our job development team, carrier coach, education specialists to create a plan centered around their life plan, areas in which we can move a person in to reaching those goals and provide Community around them. This is the biggest marker of what we do. Outside of our training we provide Community support. I have a team of individuals who are working toward having the necessary tools to achieve 6 successfully. We do that through coaching, job career services and education services. Then we have a mentor pathway that not only individuals who completed it in the past but have become mentors. We involve individuals and link them up with mentors to success. Scott: Thank you.  Full Throttle Foundation-Glen Cusimano (See Report) Glen: We moved to our new location. We have a soccer group, football camp, golf simulator, two battle gauge tunnels, and Jitsu. I’d like to set up a tour so the board can see the impact we have on the youth. One of our youth, Michael Moore, came back to Full Throttle when he moved back to Kansas City. He brought his brother in who is not justice involved but can use some structure. York: Maybe we can come up with some type of solution to help this youth. Is his probation is supervised by another state? 4 Glen: He went to Mississippi to live with Dad. York: Is he back in Kansas? Glen: He is living in Independence MO. York: We can staff that and see what support we can offer. Glen: I had professional boxers from KCK and Mayor Watson come and met with my youth. York: Please schedule a tour for the JCAB members at your new location, 1270 Miriam Lane KCK. Thursday April 23rd at 1:00 p.m. we are available. I am aware the District Attorney's office already visited your program last week. ???: Glen, how do you determine successful completion of your program. Glen: By keeping the youth clean and out of trouble through their probation period. We have an open enrollment that when the youth complete a quarter, they receive a certificate. York: Full Throttle EBP is through navigated 360  Court Services-Willie Williams (See Report)  Q13 Juvenile Comprehensive Grant Program Updates  Heartland 180, Inc. (Delinquency Prevention)-Max Mendoza (See Report) Max: I could not implement Parent Project because parents did not attend any classes. Parents do not feel obligated to come if they don't have to. York: If you are receiving referrals from Child in Need Court, those parents can be ordered to participate in parent programming. If youth are truant, CINC may need to be reminded to encourage parents to attend and participate to see how beneficial the program can would be for them and their youth. Max: Truancy Court has been ordering parents to participate in the Parent Truancy class. That is separate from Parent Project. Parent Truancy class is under KDOC Grant not through the Comprehensive Plan. York: Do you have a parent project schedule? Max: We had one class scheduled but no parents sign up. We are hoping to get another list of parents to sign up so we can schedule another class. 5 York: We need to internally remind Court Services and Community Corrections that the Parent Project class is available. I'll do my part to try to motivate parents. Max: We can do a class at any time. But we need a minimum of 4 to 5 families to sign up for the Parent Project class.  A Connecting Pointe (Substance Abuse/Mental Health Therapy-Bonnie Mejia (See Report) Bonnie: Dr Duewel wants to know when a youth is in our program for substance abuse or mental health, and the youth is discharged, no longer using these services through the justice system, is there some kind of communication we can have between Grace and the School District to have some kind of warm handoff to further assist the youth while in school. Tyson: Yes. Bonnie: Is that something the ISO would do or can Grace reach out to the schools? Tyson: Grace will need to have the parent and student sign a discharge release form and send it to the school. We will need to know who in the school the release form will need to be sent to. York: We will work on contact information for Turner School District.  Review current members: update proxies: discuss missing members. York: We need to review our board members and proxies that we are missing. Bonnie: I have a Dean from Kansas City Kansas Community College that would be interested in serving on the JCAB board. He currently serves on Leavenworth's JCAB because he is a resident of Leavenworth. He would be interested in serving on Wyandotte County JCAB since he works in Wyandotte County York: Let’s follow up on him and get a proxy. Mr. Yoakam is no longer handling cases. Mr. Sean Baker has been designated to replace him. I will get a proxy name for him. We also need a Wyandotte County Commissioner as a member and proxy. Phil: I brought it up but got no response. I will follow up. We are likely to get someone. York: Thanks. Who is the Dean of service for USD 500? Bonnie, will you follow up. Mention that Octavia served as a proxy in the past. Also, we would like to meet and discuss alternative educational programs USD 500 has to offer. Bonnie: I met with USD 500 Superintendent in a leadership class. They are interested in coming in for a tour to meet Community Corrections and Court Services to see how they 6 can better assist our youth that are justice involved. We can talk to her about someone serving on the JCAB board at that time. York: Let's follow up on that so we can have full membership on the board.
