Commissioners approve juvenile evidence‑based program grants for county community corrections
Summary
McPherson County commissioners approved and signed juvenile evidence‑based program grants that will serve juveniles supervised by community corrections in McPherson and Harvey counties.
McPherson County commissioners approved and signed fiscal year 2026–2027 juvenile evidence‑based program grants administered through the Kansas Department of Corrections, the county heard on March 31.
Sunny Millison, described in the meeting as Harvey McPherson County’s community corrections director, asked commissioners to sign the JCAB and reinvestment grant documents. Millison said the grants fund programming for juveniles supervised by community corrections and juveniles in the community, and that the programs serve both McPherson and Harvey counties.
Commission discussion confirmed the grant cycle occurs every two years. Commissioners moved to approve and sign the Kansas Department of Corrections fiscal year 2026–2027 juvenile evidence‑based program grants as presented; the motion passed with all commissioners voting “aye.” Millison noted the county has previously used other providers (OBM) and is switching this year to a program called Project Yes, which Millison said can serve a larger number of supervised youth.
Clarifying detail on the total grant amount was unclear in the transcript: commissioners referenced figures near $312,000 and $314.76 during the discussion; the county record should be consulted for the precise award amount.
Ending: Millison requested the signatures necessary to finalize the grants and commissioners provided the approvals and signatures requested.
