Truancy, At-Risk
Youth, Children in Need of Services
Facilitator: Cathy
Lange
Non-Offender youth and their families are provided direct case
management services for all the Becca Bill programs. The
Becca laws use the Court’s petitioning process to intervene
and problem solve. Once a court order is signed, case plans are
initiated and monitored. These programs fall into the three
categories as listed.
TRUANCY:
Attempts to solve school-related problems by enforcing the state
mandated school attendance laws. Interventions are provided with
schools and families to develop individual educational plans
designed for student success.
AT-RISK
YOUTH: Youth who are out of control
of a responsible adult, can be petitioned and summoned to
Court and be ordered to stop their at-risk behaviors (running
away, drug abuse, etc). A case plan is developed to address
current at-risk behaviors.
CHINS:
CHILDREN-IN-NEED OF SERVICES. These
petitions allow parents or youth to request assistance from
the court in situations where families are having intense
conflict and an out of home placement or court authority
is needed.
