Grant Summary and Timeline: As one of the five counties in Kansas implementing the Annie E. Casey's Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI), Sedgwick County will utilize Title II funds to advance the initiative in Sedgwick County to promote improvements in the juvenile justice system. Funds will be allocated for a technology solutions vendor for programming and report design to acquire the data necessary for further system analysis. Additionally, funds are allocated for personnel (overtime pay) for data collection, to conduct quality assurance checks and to assist with quarterly reporting. JDAI sites focus on issues of detention utilization, developing strategies to reduce reliance on secure detention, and making systematic changes to juvenile detention practices. JDAI also offers ways of examining and addressing issues of disproportionate minority confinement. JDAI places a major emphasis on data-driven system assessment and planning. The grant period starts June 1, 2012 and all funds must be expended by September 30, 2012. No grant match is required. The Sedgwick County Juvenile Corrections Advisory Board (Team Justice) will consider this funding application for approval on April 6, 2012.
