JJAB prepares for OJJDP compliance audit and flags roster gaps tied to Title II funding
Summary
The board recorded that an OJJDP compliance visit was rescheduled for May 5–9 after a travel ban lifted, and discussed statutory roster gaps—including too few youth with lived experience—that could jeopardize Title II Formula grant funding unless nominations fill the vacancies.
The Juvenile Justice Advisory Board on April 11 recorded that the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has rescheduled a compliance visit for the week of May 5, 2025, with an Entrance Interview set for May 5 at 9 a.m. and an Exit Interview on May 9 at 9 a.m., both available in person and via Zoom.
Board documents and discussion noted statutory requirements for the JJAB roster and described current gaps, specifically that the roster lacks sufficient youth with lived experience. Members said nominations to fill vacancies have been forwarded to the cabinet and the governor's office; the minutes do not record final appointments.
Meeting materials and members flagged that federal roster requirements can affect Title II Formula grant funding eligibility. The minutes record the compliance concern but do not attribute the observation to a single speaker.
Board staff encouraged members to participate in the scheduled OJJDP entrance and exit interviews. The rescheduled audit and the approaching grants-application deadlines create near-term scheduling priorities for board members and staff.
Next steps: members awaiting confirmation on nominations to fill roster vacancies and preparing for the May audit; no formal remedial or policy votes were recorded during the April session.
