PURPOSE: To receive information on the development of the Teen Court
Program in Orange County.
BACKGROUND: On December 16, 1997, the County Commissioners received a
report from Sharron Siler on the Teen Court Programs in North Carolina
and the feasibility of establishing a program in Orange County. The
County Commissioners authorized Commissioner Crowther, John Link,
Sharron Siler and Donnie Phillips to meet with Judge Buckner and other
interested parties to develop this program and move forward. They have
met several tunes with a committee including a representative from the
Sheriff's Dept., Orange County Schools, Chapel Hill-Carrboro City
Schools and Judge Stanley Peele. This report is an update on how the
Teen Court Project will move forward.
RECOMMENDATION: Receive report and answer any questions.
