October GMCC Meeting

Meeting Agenda: Tuesday, October 6th 9:00AM to 10:30AM

• Introductions
• 20-minute presentation on The Waterbury Report
• Post presentation question and answer session
• Brainstorm and discussion answering the question, what is missing from the JJ system right now?

Child Advocate Sarah Eagan will be joining us for a presentation of her recent report on calls made by Waterbury public schools to local police regarding students attending elementary and preK through grade 8 schools during the 2018-19 school year.

Eagan will discuss key findings from the report as well as community recommendation going forward. As Connecticut is raising the minimum age of arrest to 12-years old, Eagan is interested in entering a discussion on what the "instead of" will look like for children under 12 who would have previously entered the JJ system.

To kick off the post-presentation discussion, the group will first consider the question, what is missing from the JJ system right now in order to provide the best possible support to our children and families.
