PRC Staff member Teresa Stroud and Director Dana Shoenberg presented in-person training to members of the Council of Juvenile Justice Administrators (CJJA) Summer Business meeting. The meeting is primarily attended by Executive Directors of state Juvenile Justice agencies (or their designee), and Chief Juvenile Probation Officers from locally operated juvenile agencies. The training for this meeting was focused on Staffing Plans. The PRC had a co-presenter, the Chief Juvenile Probation Officer from Bexar County, TX, Jill Mata. Bexar County Juvenile Probation Department is a large urban department in San Antonio, Texas serving a diverse population. The presentation included the PREA standards requirements for staffing plans (Standard 115.313), a discussion about staffing challenges for agencies and staffing plan requirements. Chief Mata discussed the development of the Bexar County Staffing Plan and how the agency used it in presentation to County Commissioners to spark budget discussions to help enhance staffing a richer child/staff ratio to gain consistent compliance with ratios and improve overall safety.
