    1. USDOL has recognized that these performance measures will be more challenging for theharder-to-serve youth and young adults who are now priorities for WIOA; see Appendix B fora statement from USDOL on this subject. To encourage local boards to enroll these youngpeople and discourage so-called creaming (or only serving participants who are bestprepared to succeed), USDOL considers the economic condition and characteristics ofparticipants when negotiating performance levels,and uses a statistical adjustment model which cancalibrate performance based on actual economicconditions. Furthermore, USDOL has acknowledgedthat services to these young people will cost moremoney per participant and take more time toachieve success than it would for participants whomight need fewer supports

      makes sense

    2. Performance MeasuresWIOA youth programs are subject to several specific performance measures:• Percentages of participants who have entered unsubsidized employment, education, ortraining in the second and fourth quarters after program exit;• For those in unsubsidized employment, median earnings in second quarter after exit;

      these four measures i dont get how to track this easily for youth who leave the program

    3. most justice-involved young people can qualify as out-of-school youth, thepriority population for WIOA funding

      why? because they are truant? I don't get it.

    5. Blended Education andOccupational Training. One of themajor barriers facing youth withjustice involvement is relativelylow levels of academicachievement, which can requireintensive tutoring and instruction.Research suggests, however, thatblended approaches with literacyand numeracy taught in combination or in the context of occupational training oremployment are likely to produce the best outcomes, since participants can see theconnections between the classroom and the workplace

      to me, success is not achieving a desired outcome. it is designing a process that you follow, and tweaking that process over time to make it better and better, so that you succeed more often. it's not individual successful outcomes; it's designing a process or system that makes doing the thing that leads to success just-challenging enough, and just-easy enough, that you'll keep on doing it, get better at it over time, and learn from it over time. success is working on the process, it's not meeting a goal.

      can parenting tactics, incentives, be regarded as a trade secret? Is that even ethical? If we have parenting and behavoral support program stuff that works, we have an ethical duty to share it, or else our nonprofit mission is self-preservation in actuality over its stated tax-exempt mission of aiding youth, which is priority number one.

    2. In 2006, Judge Brown noted that Kansas courrs have not addressed whether Kansas would adopt the inevita-ble disclosure docuine. 12 There have been no reported Kansas cases discussing this issue since then. A facror that the co urt may weigh in Karen's favor is that there was no noncompeti-tion agreement negotiated between Karen and Marvelous.

      I never signed a noncompete

    3. (1) The employers must be direct competitors provid-ing the same or very similar products or services; (2) The employee's new position is nearly identical to his old one, such that he could not reasonably be expected w fulfill his new job responsibilities without utilizing the trade secrets of his former employer; (3) the trade secrets are highly valuable to both employers.

      So this is odd. How is any of this highly valuable to both employers? I guess it's valuable but we were given a CARF ready policy manual by the Shelter, over two years ago when gina asked a former employee to give it to her. And now i'm wondering, was that competitors cooperating, and did that employee have permission to give those "trade secrets" from the ED or BOD?

    4. The gist of the inevitable disclosure doctrine is to prevent an employee from taking new employment when an employee's new employment will inevitably lead her ro rely on her former employer's trade secrets.

      this means anyone who's ever worked at oconnell who knows these basic things couldn't work at another group home anywhere, ever again, or else it would inevitably lead them to rely on former employer's trade secrets.

I said I sent the wrong one, need to use this one I'm making for you that is suited to your organization, language, length, and quality: better than anything I've ever made before

    6. reverse engineering.

      Gina told me I could take whatever was in my head, but not documents if I went to work for Crossroads. So I made tons of original documents of things I thought she considered confidential, but I had no reason to think basic policies were confidential because they are policies that are not regarded as confidential anywhere in the policy manual. Nor are specific forms called that. It's unclear what is confidential information, processes, or documents. So in order to be above reproach, I worked hard to create things based on what was in my head, even though now I'm wondering why I went through all that trouble since no efforts were made by oconnell to clarify what's a trade secret, what's confidential, and what's not. Of course I was confused during this process and the only thing I felt I was doing was withholding information from Gina that I was consulting because I merely thought she would have a bad taste in her mouth about it--not that it was illegal or protected or proprietary information to be protected as a trade secret. We've never had a culture of secrecy, and confidential information has only and always been discussed in my presence at oconnell as confidential health information abotu clients. Never have we been instructed to protect, hide, distinguish certain key processes or docuements are confidential or trade secrets--I see very little value in any document in and of itself, in any penny board, paragraph describing family meetings, anything that is obviously publically available and accessible by anyone including visitors, case teams, DCF, and all clients and employees regardless of manager status, privileged access via password protected stuff, etc.

    10. easona

      Reasonable efforts may include: prohibiting disclosure of one's confidential information by business partners through non-disclosure agreements, requiring employees to sign confidentiality agreements applicable to the subject information, limiting internal use and disclosure to certain employees, limiting internal and external distribution or access to print or electronic copies of confidential information, and taking steps to prevent business invitees from observing confidential components and processes.

    12. If Marvelous is going to pursue a trade secret claim, Lucky must identify with specificity what trade secrets have been misappropriated.

      a common misconception is that all confidential information is "trade secret" information. It is not. To be entitled to KUTSA protection, the information must go beyond merely being confidential, and must meet the statuatory definition of "trade secret".

    13. the acquisition, use, and disclosure of another's valuable, proprietary information by improper means, trade secret law minimizes the inevitable cost to the basic decency of society when one steals from another,

      why would strong leaders in the community, including dedicated volunteers at oconnell who not only knew about this but encouraged its onset, have encouraged me to do this if it was a trade secret issue?

    1. Adapting the SCANS Checklist Program evaluators must explore creative methods and tools to measure real change in skills and competencies, particularly with at-risk youth audiences. The SCANS Checklist is just such a tool. It can be customized easily for use with programs that include an experiential learning component by following the guidelines below: 1. Clearly define program goals and objectives. 2. Identify tasks and skills youth can learn, develop and practice as program participants. • Interview program staff. • Observe program in action. 3. Match identified program specific skills to relevant categories from the SCANS Report (see Worksheet 1). 4. Create assessment tool incorporating SCANS Report terminology and program specific skills (refer to Table 3).

      this seems like a lot of work for nothing, except to identify which skills we're trying to teach, and to be aware of those, and to try to teach those better by having them externalized on a list. But this doesn't seem practical for time spent doing this for payoff, in terms of observing and trying to assess youth on all of these performance-based assessments.

    1. The Model is a framing device. It is not an instruction manual, but rather a blueprint. It can guide the efforts of youth justice practitioners as they work to maintain an appropriate balance of strategies across the various domains of youth justice. It is equivalent to the well-known food pyramid, which helps to orient us to the proper balance of various food groups in our diets. Just as a balanced diet needs to contain more than starches and meat, an effective approach to youth justice should include more than job training or anger management, more than just drug treatment or community service. The best youth development strategies include a diverse menu of services, opportunities, and supports.

    2. many reasons to believe that skills training and work experience may decrease a youth’s chances of becoming involved with the juvenile justice system. Among other things, work promotes responsibility, reduces idleness, engages participants in productive activities, and provides an opportunity to develop friendships and relationships with other responsible adults. These ideas, whether articulated or not, have a profound influence on public policy for at-risk youth, as indicated by President Obama’s vocal support during his 2008 campaign for work-related youth programs, including AmeriCorps, YouthBuild, and various models for “service-learning.”

    3. interests (Bazemore & Terry, 1996; Bazemore, 1991). Work programs are actually more likely to meet the criteria for positive youth development than many other effective interventions, especially when they place youth in new roles where they can learn and demonstrate new skills, and develop positive relationships with pro-social adults.

    1. Although the transfer of large numbers of juveniles intothe adult system is a growing problem, the deteriorationof the juvenile justice system itself is of equal, if less wellpublicized, concern. In No Matter How Loud I Shout,journalist Ed Humes wrote, “In Los Angeles, the judges,prosecutors and defense attorneys can’t remember individ-ual kids anymore, or faces or histories. They look at youas if you’re insane if you name a juvenile and ask whathappened to his or her case . . . the kids have been reducedto categories.” 11

    2. There has always been tension in the juvenile justice system between the dual goals ofpunishment and rehabilitation.

    1. 66.0%

      so 95% of crossover youth in DCF custody in 2019 had no achieved permanency, whereas 66% of non-crossover youth had. These kiddos are not easy to place into family placements, kinship, relative, foster homes. They need residential placements tailored to working with them, specialized to helping them.

    2. 3.7%

      so we see over a third of crossover youth go into group homes, but those group homes aren't specializing in serving them. We would keep them busy with vocational training, mentors, low disruption rates, exceptional adult-youth ratio, special training in crossover youth needs.

    3. removals

      16% of all youth in DCF custody were identified as crossover youth, in 2019. That's about 1 in 5. No programs specialize in serving this unique population, which has patterns or characteristics we know about, e.g. 70% struggle with substance-use-disorder. We can tailor our program to serve them. They tend to disrupt more often and have more placements than other youth. We can commit to keeping them here, as a matter of policy, rather than disrupting on them.

    4. administered

      one reason DCF providers (QRTP, YRC-II) disrupt is physical violence, property destruction, criminal behavior, etc. What if CRDC never disrupted unless other children in the home were at risk if the child stayed? E.g. another child was assaulted and now feared being placed with him?

    5. The local Juvenile Corrections Advisory Board has been wrestling with this difficulty since the effects of SB 367 was realized. There is an acute need for the housing option, together with successful assessment and treatment for these children to see and address where they need attention while they are being housed. Mental health, substance abuse, and even mentoring and family supports are factors that can be addressed more long term once these youth get some time to stabilize in a crisis facility that is tailored to address this significant group of youth. However, if crossover youth with acute and chronic problems are forced into a foster care system that moves them around constantly, these critical issues are left partially or fully unaddressed.

      again, disruption is a huge problem

    6. In Shawnee County, with the increased application (now full) of SB 367, there has been a flood of youth who do not have an effective place to go when the situation bringing the youth to juvenile intake may be too severe or dysfunctional to allow for home placement, but not sufficient to justify use of a detention center.

    7. Children in the Kansas child welfare system are still experiencing a basic denial of shelter in foster care with extreme disruptions to their stability – with children in foster care still being moved more than 50 or 100 times – going on a year after litigation was filed against the state. Extreme placement instability remains dangerously high. For each month from July 2018 to June 2019, the average number of placements for children for 1,000 days in foster care ranges from 9.3 to 10.3 – which is roughly one new placement every three months for more than 2.5 years. This placement rate is more than double the recommended maximum number of times a child should be moved within a child welfare system in a 1,000-day period. The number of children who re-entered the child welfare system within one year of exiting increased from June 2018 to June 2019, signaling a lack of progress in ensuring children successfully exit foster care. The amount of attention that has been focused on this extremely small population of “crossover youth" is unfortunate given the deep, systemic problems that continue in our child welfare system.

      what if you commit to not disrupting, as policy? If not here, then where? End the moving. We will take them. We will get volunteers. We will weather every storm.

    8. These youth and their families need supports to be maintained in their home and move the trajectory for these youth to become successful and productive adults,

      our goal is this, except for youth whose permanency plan is APPLA or emancipation

    9. I truly believe that youth having a mentor or another positive adult role model in there life that supports their success, in addition to parental support, will help immensely in meeting needs

      what if you say your ratio is projected to be 1-1 or 1-2, instead of 1-6 or 1-7, and placement stability will be key, and specializing in this population, etc. mentorship, and vocational experience

    10. In FY 2019, 31 (4.7 percent) crossover youth reached permanency compared to 1,486 (34.0 percent) other foster care youth.

      the implication is that these youth often struggle to get permanency, and a facility needs to focus on serving them in a special way

    11. In FY 2019, the placement stability rate for crossover youth in this review was 26.1 compared to a rate of 9.7 for all Kansas foster care youth (including crossover youth). (Figure I.4)

      what if you say your policy will be not to disrupt on youth, period

    12. “There is an acute need for the housing option, together with successful assessment and treatment for these children to see and address where they need attention while they are being housed. There has to be an alternative that has a reduced hardness but is still sufficiently secure to keep them engaged until they stabilize. Funding — regardless of whether those funds flow from DCF or KDOC, and regardless of who the legislature decides would be most appropriate for managing the center — is the most critical factor in developing such a center.” — Timothy Phelps, Juvenile Corrections Advisory Board

    13. he working group proposes future efforts to study strategies for engaging relatives to care for crossover youth

      say that you'd do this as a QRTP

    14. Crossover youth were more than twice as likely to be placed in group residential homes than were other foster care youth in FY 2019 (36.1 percent compared to 14.7 percent). (Figure I.3)

      these kinds of youth are twice as likely as non-crossover youth to be placed in group homes, but group homes aren't trained to deal with both systems in an integrated way*

    15. Half (45.7 percent) of the crossover youth in this review were age 16-17 and another one-third (32.1 percent) were age 14-15. This is generally similar to the broader juvenile offender population (55.8 percent and 29.7 percent, respectively).

      So most are transition-age

    1. Russell Hoye (2006), Leader-Member Exchange theory (LMX) “means that leaders and followers develop exclusive exchange relationships (dyads), some of which are high quality (presence of mutual trust, respect, and obligation) and others of low quality (low trust, respect, and obligation)” (p. 299).Hoye’s study, which focused on the quality of relationships between boards and paid staff and their impact on board performance, indicated that the quality of the leader-member exchanges has a direct influence on board performance. In contrast, the absence of strong leadership in the form of the chair of the board of directors increases board reliance upon the paid leadership team. This low LMX situation may create an environment of lower commitment on the part of individual board members. The key elements of LMX theory are present in the exchange relationship between Jill, the executive director, and the board of directors of TSI. The findings indicate a positive exchange relationship dyad as mutual trust, respect, and obligation are present

      does this suggest more commitment when there is a strong board chair

    1. Board members are encouraged to regularly review the organization’s financial statements and information returns, and consider whether an independent auditor is appropriate.

      Encouraged but not required

    2. Although the IRC does not require charities to have governance and management policies, the IRS does encourage boards of charities to consider whether the implementation of policies relating to executive compensation, conflicts of interest, investments, fundraising, documentation of governance decisions, document retention and whistleblower claims may be necessary and appropriate

      These policies are not even required, but encouraged.

    3. Record Retention PeriodsRecord retention periods vary depending on the types of records and returns.Permanent Records –Some records should be kept permanently. These include the application for recognition of tax-exempt status, the determination letter recognizing tax-exempt status and organizing documents, such as articles of incorporation and bylaws, with amendments, as well as board minutes.Employment Tax Records – If an organization has employees, it must keep employment tax records for at least four years after filing the fourth quarter for the year.Records for Non-Tax Purposes – When records are no longer needed for tax purposes, an organization should keep them until they are no longer needed for non-tax purposes. For example, a grantor, insurance company, creditor or state agency may require that records be kept longer than the IRS requires.

      This is the only thing the IRS says about meeting minutes: they must be kept permanently

    1. Many disconnected young people face circumstances that are huge barriers to their reg-ular participation in programs, such as unmet housing, child care, and transportation needs. Pro-grams have difficulty helping young people to meet these needs, either directly or through refer-rals, because of a lack of services in their communities. The challenge of transportation and how it limits regular program participation comes up time and time again in interviews with program staff members and participants.

      Definition of an adult with an impairment in need of a guardian or conservator: a person whose ability to receive and evaluate relevant information, or to effectively communicate decisions, or both, even with the use of assistive technologies or other supports, is impaired such that the person lacks the capacity to manage such person's estate [property], or to meet essential needs for physical health, safety or welfare

    1. For example, the Youth Transitions Funders Group’s Connected by 25 plan outlines six linked well-being domains for older youth in foster care that contribute to success in adulthood: intellectual potential, social development, mental wellness, physical health, safety and permanency, and economic success (Langford and Badeau 2013). It uses these domains as a basis for recommendations on investment strategies to expand community supports, improve cross-system functioning, and build evidence about how to better measure well-being outcomes and design new interventions focusing on well-being. Other examples of these frameworks include Youth Thrive by the Center for the Study of Social Policy and the Crossover Youth Practice Model from the Center for Juvenile Justice Reform at Georgetown University.

    1. Written discharge summary for each child/youth that documents service episodes and results of services

      can we attach weekly progress notes and program plan as addendum to the discharge summary?

    2. Written procedures for referrals, transition, and discharge

      discharge policies need to incorporate how we are going to provide referrals so that the youth may have continued services set up at the time of their discharge/transition

    3. Copy of the program rules, provided to person served at orientation2.B.8.e.(5)Program policies, provided to child/youth served at orientation

      are these the same thing, can they be? our new resident handbook suffices i hope

    4. Written procedures governing the use of special treatment interventions and restrictions of rights

      exceptions might be made in the approved contact list policy, or the visitation policy, but by case teams not us. we can suggest something isn't safe, but they have authority to limit resident rights, not us. it's a team decision.
