Rutherford County juvenile facility reports 9 youth in custody, one corporal vacancy and one staff FMLA absence
Summary
Staff said the facility had nine youth at 8 a.m., four from Rutherford County and one each from Gibson, Lauderdale and "Sono"; the board accepted the data report and noted one corporal position under internal review and one staff member on FMLA.
During roll call at a Rutherford County meeting, staff presented the facility’s data report showing the facility had nine youth in custody at 8 a.m. that morning and provided an update on open positions and leave status; the board accepted the data report by unanimous consent.
Miss Duke reported the count: "at 08:00, we had 9, youth. We had, 4 from Rutherford County and 1 each from Gibson, Lauderdale, and Sono," she said. The report noted ongoing monitoring of admissions and lengths of stay but did not provide further demographic details in the transcript.
The nut graf: Staff also reported staffing items: one corporal position is under review through internal departmental applications, and one employee is out on family medical leave (FMLA). The board did not record a separate motion and approved the data report without objection.
Additional details: Board members compared the current population with previous months, noting the census was lower than in prior reports (members referenced past counts of 12 and a month with a high of 17). There were no formal operational or budgetary decisions tied to the report during the meeting.
The board accepted the data report by unanimous consent; no roll-call vote was recorded. Staff offered to answer questions and clarified that youth bound over to adult court would remain in the facility until legal processes required otherwise, when asked by a board member.
The meeting did not produce directives that change staffing authorizations; staff indicated the corporal vacancy is being considered from internal applicants and the FMLA absence is being managed administratively.
