Summary
The county approved contractual services funded by a FY27 DOC JDAI grant to support programs including Policing the Teen Brain, Parent Project, Teen Court, art therapy and tutoring for July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027.
Tippecanoe County's Youth Services presented and the commissioners approved contractual services under the FY27 Department of Corrections Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) grant (Fund 9213) to support youth programming for the 2026–27 year.
Director Rebecca Humphrey listed individual contractors and program leads: Dr. Matt Aalsma, Victor Torres and Michael Daley for 'Policing the Teen Brain'; Laura Stull, Madeline Riordan, Kaitlin Romza and Misty Robinson for 'Parent Project' (the minutes note these four Parent Project contractors are County employees but perform distinct Parent Project duties); Devon Moore and Miriah Anderson for Teen Court; Willowstone Family Services for art therapy; and Jackie Vega, Wendy Towle and Eric Aull for tutoring coordination/implementation.
