New Technical Assistance Criteria

New Programs

School district contract managers are responsible for notifying the Juvenile Justice Educational Enhancement Program (JJEEP) within 30 days of notification that a new Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) program is being placed in their school districts.

To provide technical assistance (TA) a JJEEP reviewer may:

  1. Be assigned to a new program by the JJEEP director
  2. Complete a TA request form and contact program and school district personnel to determine program needs and to plan an on-site visit
  3. Conduct initial TA and a mock QA review, including a written report that the JJEEP director sends to the Department of Education (DOE)
  4. Identify needs for TA follow-up and develop a schedule for delivering support services as needed

The first full QA review for a new program should not occur earlier than six months following the mock QA or the last on-site TA visit. (The same reviewer will not conduct both the mock QA review and the program's first full review.)

Education Provider Change

School district representatives should inform JJEEP within two weeks of notification of an education provider change.

A program whose education provider changes may receive TA prior to its QA review based on the identified needs of the educational program.

Corrective Action Follow-up

A program that fails one of Standards 1, 2, or 3 and has a passing overall average score (4.00 or higher) will receive a corrective action plan (CAP) and follow-up TA.

The reviewer (and peer reviewers, when appropriate) will provide intervention strategies, networking, and other resources based on the needs of the program and may contact school district personnel if the program needs additional assistance.

A school district that fails Standard 4 for two consecutive years will receive a CAP and follow-up TA.

Failing Programs

A program whose average overall score is less than 4.00 will receive a CAP and a TA visit in which:

  1. The JJEEP reviewer and a DOE representative (as appropriate) meet with the CAP team to assist with plans to correct the deficiencies identified in the QA report.
  2. The reviewer may conduct a needs assessment with school district and program administrators, teachers, and students.
  3. The reviewer reports needs assessment results to the school district and the program.
  4. The reviewer conducts follow up TA as needed.
