Planned Truancy Interventions 2012-2013
Intervention Explanation Measure of Success
Beginning with training in July and implementation in August, DCPS will comply with all referral requirements at all schools (Elementary Grades)
DCPS will centrally monitor unexcused absences logged at each school and the number of referral calls made by each school to ensure complete compliance
DCPS will track changes in referral and truancy rates compared to prior years noting differences by school and grade level to ensure 100% compliance with referral rates.
At the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year, DCPS will expand use of The Truancy Court Diversion Program (TCDP) in middle schools. (Middle Grades)
While truancy rates are not at their highest in middle schools, we already have data to indicate which students are prone to truancy leading to our 9th grade crisis.
DCPS will track In Seat Attendance rates for students who participate in the TCDP to increase ISA for all participating students.
Through the High School Case Management Initiative, DCPS provides case management support to a cohort of 9th graders at TIS High Schools.
While the first year of the program did not lead to reduced truancy rates, more families gained access to needed social services. DCPS will work with CFSA and human services to enhance the partnership.
Working with the truancy task force, DCPS will track the number of students referred for social services, monitor progress in the reduction in truancy rates in the population and ensure increase in ISA.
Beginning at the start of the 2012-2013 school year, DCPS will add 8 social workers at the six schools with the highest truancy rates (TIS High Schools)
DCPS will provide dedicated staff members to each of the six schools that account for the greatest number of truant students to assist in calling parents, working with students and making referrals.
DCPS will track changes in truancy rates compared to prior years at the six targeted schools, compare changes in truancy rates in the six targeted schools to changes as compared to other DCPS schools and to ensure decrease in truancy.

Mental Health andSubstance Abuse Education
The Substance Abuse Treatment and Mental Health Services Integration Taskforce’s (SATMHSIT) first annual Conference, “The Intersection of Mental Health Services, Substance Abuse Recovery, and the Criminal Justice System” was held on July 27, 2012.
Educated key stakeholders on current issues, developments, and ways to further collaborate on the substance abuse and mental health issues in the criminal justice system.
DOC Discharge Planning WorkgroupCJCC Discharge Planning
Subcommittee to examine further collaboration with DOC in order to better serve our substance abuse and mental health population upon release.
Currently, the group is working to coordinate medication planning for releasees who have mental health and substance abuse issues.
Substantial ComplianceModel for Parolees
USPC creation of a special docket for responding to non-compliance of mentally ill non-violent parolees instead of revocation.
Total # of dockets held: 11 Total # of warrants issued: 6# of initial hearings conducted: 19 # of warrants issued for failure to report for MH docket:
2# of status (re-) hearings conducted: 10 # of warrants issued for failing to comply with
case plan: 4
Total # of individuals currently considered substantially compliant: 13
Substantial ComplianceModel for Parolees (cont.)Next Steps:
Extend Pilot through April 2013 Phase II (October 2012 – January 2013) Add 2 additional CSOSA male teams Add remaining CSOSA female team Increase to 6-8 cases per docket
Phase III (February 2013 – April 2013) Add remaining CSOSA male teams Analysis of data collected during Phase I and
Phase II
CSOSA/BOP Release Planning CollaborationInformation Sharing Process to Enhance Continuity of Care
CSOSA and the BOP are now working closely together on the transfer of health-related information to facilitate continuity of care and have implemented two strategies to facilitate such transfers.
BOP is now sending CSOSA mental health and medical information on all DC inmates housed at their Federal Medical Centers (FMCs) that are within 90 days of release.
DC inmates with severe mental health disorders or serious medical problems housed at prison facilities (other than FMCs), CSOSA is now able to request the necessary records from a designated BOP point of contact.
One potential data sharing solution is the automated transmission of mental health and medical information from the BOP to CSOSA. BOP has formed a multidisciplinary committee to address the technological, privacy, and workforce challenges associated with this option.
CSOSA/PSA/APRA Explore Enhancements to the Client Referral and Intake Process
On August 8, 2012, APRA representatives briefed CSOSA and PSA staff on APRA’s automated client information system, District Automated Treatment Accounting (DATA).
APRA requested that CSOSA and PSA complete various screens in the DATA system prior to referring an individual to APRA.
One of the major advantages of this information sharing process would be the
communication of already existing substance abuse and recovery information from CSOSA to APRA before assessment.
Another advantage of this information sharing process would be CSOSA staff being able to track and rapidly determine the participation status of all referrals.
CSOSA and PSA workgroup is recommending that a two-fold strategy be pursed with regards to accessing APRA’s DATA system:◦ Near term approach involving manual input of relevant client referral data◦ Long term approach involving linkage of IT systems to automatically import client
referral data
Resource MappingCJCC developed an online resource
locator– a publicly accessible, interactive online resource guide for both criminal justice practitioners and community members. It is slated for release late fall.
The resource locator is designed to enhance access to mental health and substance abuse treatment needs, as well as other social service needs.
Performance-Based Outcomes WorkgroupCreation of the CJCC Performance
Based Outcomes Workgroup to examine measures for performance based outcomes for treatment providers and criminal justice agencies.
Currently, a review of current partner agency performance measures is underway.
Grant CoordinationNew mechanism established by CJCC to
identify and notify the partner agencies of local and federal grant opportunities.
This includes a written grant detail review for the partners.
CJCC will continue these efforts in the upcoming year by expanding its coordination efforts.
