Summary
Bannock County Juvenile Justice sought and received commission approval to apply for a 2026 Idaho Office of Drug Policy block grant to support Families in Action and Teens in Action programming, requesting $7,326.26.
Todd Manger, representing Bannock County Juvenile Justice, told commissioners on March 18 that staff will apply for the Idaho Office of Drug Policy state fiscal year 2026 substance use prevention, treatment and recovery services block grant. The request totals $7,326.26 and would fund Families in Action cohorts and support Teens in Action classes at Marsh Valley.
Manger said the county requested a smaller total than in prior years because remaining program materials (books) and available interns will reduce costs for Teens in Action; the application will focus funding on Families in Action cohorts. Commissioners unanimously approved submitting the grant application.
If awarded, county staff said the funds would support prevention programming led by Juvenile Justice staff and interns; no further allocation decisions were made at the meeting.
