Section 1-8 - Data Collection and Evaluation

An evaluation of the overall project shall be conducted by a team with members from the Departments of Family Services, Health and Education and the State Advisory Council on Juvenile Justice to assess effectiveness and efficiency. Each community will establish outcome and output measures within its strategic plans. Additionally, the Departments of Family Services, Health and Education, in cooperation with the State Advisory Council on Juvenile Justice shall conduct a systemic evaluation of the projects. Such a systemic review will require sharing and evaluation of service data between the Departments of Family Services, Health, Education and the State Advisory Council on Juvenile Justice. The performance indicators (outcome measures) will be a proxy measurements of the outcomes of the CJSB planning and implementation efforts in the development of a system that responds to the needs of the youth and families in the community. When youth are assessed through a single point of entry and referred for services within the community based on need, we anticipate the effectiveness and efficiency of the system will be reflected in the performance indicators. Performance indicators for evaluating effectiveness and efficiency shall include:
