The panel msw93 spoke of was to review the placement of children in out of home care (foster homes, treatment foster homes, groups homes and residential care facilies or juvenile corrections). This panel has existed since the mid 1980's. What changed was Ms. Klyve's threat to reduce staff if children were placed in a residential care facility. One placement was equal to one pobation officer position. It was Klyve who gave the directive to limit JDC placements as well. Part of her reason was to decrease the number of minority placement as the department was criticized for having a high number of minorities at the detention center. Both the state and feds considered it disproportionate minority confinement (DMC). Diversion programs started with not referring juveniles for minor drug and weapons offenses as well as arrests at school. Klyve states referrals went up the first quarter of 2009...this is when the DA started reviewing referrals. Strange when someone other than department staff are making decisions the numbers go up.
