PARTNERSHIP FOR OUR YOUTH
Led by Center for Learning & Development thanks to a grant from the Office of the Governor Criminal Justice Division
THE PARTNERS: Center for Learning & Development, a 501c3 non-profit
Bell County Juvenile Justice Services
McLennan County Juvenile Justice Services
MHMR Klaras Center for Families
Midway ISD Robinson ISD Belton ISD Temple ISD
La Vega ISD Waco ISD Salado ISD
THE PROBLEM: 10% of students who are suspended and/or expelled between 7th and 12th grade drop out of school (compared to 2% of the general student body)59% of students who have been suspended and/or expelled 11 times or more within a six-year time period do not graduate.A student suspended/expelled for a discretionary reason is 3 times more likely to be in contact with the juvenile justice system in the next year.DAEPs have 5 times the drop out rate of mainstream schools.
THE PROBLEM: The single greatest predictor of future involvement in the
juvenile justice system is a history of
disciplinary referrals in school. Public Policy Research Institute, Texas A & M University, 2005
THE PROBLEM: 80% of students who repeat more than one grade level at any time during their school career end up dropping out of school.26% of students who are in juvenile justice placement have repeated the previous grade. 31% of students with one or more suspensions/expulsions had repeated a grade at least once in his/her school career.28% of detained youth and 43% of incarcerated youth have an identified special ed disability (learning, physical, or emotional).
THE PROBLEM: 50% of youth with mental illness drop out of high school and 73% of those are arrested within 5 years.33% of youth referred to juvenile probation have a diagnosed mental illness.60% of incarcerated youth in Texas are in need of mental health treatment.
THE PROBLEM: Texas recidivism rates:
JJAEP – 48% Residential – 42%
Bell County recidivism rates:JJAEP – 62% Residential – 20%
McLennan County recidivism rates:JJAEP – 59% Residential – 44%
THE PROBLEM: If Texas were to invest in
early intervention and prevention programs
that keep 1,000 youth from entering TYC,
the state would save
over $91 million a year!
THE PROBLEM:
We have 3 well-meaning and dedicated systems that speak different languages working with the same highest-risk
students.
THE PROJECT – “ENCIRCLE”
This wraparound, service-delivery collaborative will target 50 Bell and McLennan County youth in JJAEP and residential placements as well as during aftercare transition to provide:

(3) training and consultation services to partnering educational systems, mental health organizations, and juvenile justice personnel.
