Kent St. Winchester, VA 22601 Dear Board, I am the Director for the 26'h Court Service Unit serving eight jurisdictions in the northern Shenandoah Valley including Frederick County. As part of that work, we partner with local jurisdictions to administer a plan through the Virginia Juvenile Community Crime Control Act ("VJCCCA"). The County has participated in this plan since 1996 when the plan was initially created. The plan is managed in the Court Service Unit office and is a combined plan for Frederick County, Winchester City, and Clarke County with Frederick County acting as the fiscal agent. The organization of the plan also requires the support of local judges so Judge Elizabeth Kellas,Judge Kimberly Athey,and Judge James Drown work closely with the development and implementation of the plan. The funds in the plan pay for youth to attend the Timbrook Achievement Center for truancy intervention, restorative justice, and other programs for low level offenses. There are no funds provided by Frederick County. The resolution was requested by the Department of Juvenile to match with requirements for plan approval. Please let me know if you have any questions.
