NewsJanuary 2009Pennsylvania MST Wins Award The PA Lycoming MST team received an award at the annual Juvenile Court Judge’s commission in Harrisburg, PA for their outstanding service. They are being recognized as the Community Based Program of the Year. The team was nominated by the Lycoming Juvenile Probation department for outstanding work and dedication to the families of Lycoming County. This was due in part to their phenomenal outcomes and excellent relationship with the entire probation office. The Juvenile Court Judges' Commission was established by the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1959. Members of the Commission are nominated by the Chief Justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and appointed by the Governor for three-year terms. The commission is responsible for advising juvenile courts concerning the proper care and maintenance of delinquent children as well as establishing standards governing the administrative practices and judicial procedures used in juvenile courts. The JCJC conference is an annual event that focuses on recognizing juvenile justice in PA and is heavily attended by all counties in PA. Receiving this award is an honor and is looked upon as a great achievement. Congratulations to Megan Hunter, Erica Bischof, Mike Boughton, Erin Plocinski and Ken Tallman. |
