Panel offers cross training to aid Lawrence County students
The Lawrence County Juvenile Advisory Committee moves into its fourth year coordinating child services across agencies. Members from common pleas court, county commissioners, New Castle police and school district join Children and Youth Services, Cray Youth and Family Services and others to implement the integrated child serving system. The group used a Game of Life exercise at Jameson South Conference Center as a pilot to map agency roles and streamline referrals, with plans to expand to all eight local school districts and involve students.
