Merger shifts Kansas juvenile agency under Corrections
Concerns arise as the Kansas Juvenile Justice Authority merges with the Department of Corrections on July 1. Officials say core functions remain. Opponents argue the consolidation risks cuts and loss of autonomy, though IT and accounting functions already moved.

Douglas County notes reduced detentions and ongoing JDAI reforms with most youths in community supervision.
