Court designates alternate judges for juvenile matters; juvenile center may host Trinity Charter School program
Summary
The commissioners approved a resolution naming district courts and district judges as alternates for juvenile court and heard that Trinity Charter School would provide accredited instruction and materials for youth detained at the juvenile center, potentially saving county funds.
The court approved a juvenile-board resolution designating district courts and district judges as alternates for juvenile court when needed. Trinis, speaking for the juvenile board, said the measure provides a backup to ensure youth can be brought to court if the juvenile judge is unavailable.
Trinis also described a partnership discussed with Trinity Charter School, which would provide teachers, materials and computers for the juvenile center’s education program. "They would provide the teachers, all materials, supplies, computers, everything," Trinis said, adding the arrangement would save the county money if space is available at the juvenile facility.
