Board targets out-of-school youth, juvenile justice and reentry supports
Summary
Board members highlighted difficulty locating 18–24-year-old out-of-school youth and discussed mandating superintendent notifications to OhioMeansJobs, juvenile detention partnerships, and supports for formerly incarcerated individuals.
Dave told the board that contacting out-of-school youth aged 18–24 remains difficult and that this population is critical for workforce efforts. The board discussed a proposal to require school superintendents to notify OhioMeansJobs offices when students drop out so staff can follow up and connect them to services.
Members discussed partnerships with juvenile detention centers to provide training and counseling before release and considered transportation and placement services to support formerly incarcerated individuals entering the workforce. No formal policy was adopted at the meeting; staff will pursue partnership options and outreach strategies.
