Section 05.02.01.155 - PLANNING FOR RELEASE OR TRANSFER01.Aftercare Planning. Programs must promote continuity in programming and services for juvenile offenders after they leave the program by assuring that essential information is forwarded to those agencies that may be providing services to the juvenile offenders, and working closely with Department staff throughout placement to plan for reintegration.02.Approval. Reintegration, by release from Department custody or transfer, must not take place without the involvement of the Department's assigned juvenile services coordinator, and the written approval of the regional clinical supervisor and regional superintendent.03.Department Concurrence. Preparation for reintegration of a juvenile offender begins with the initial development of a service plan and is an ongoing process throughout the juvenile offender's program. Criteria for the juvenile offender's release from Department custody or transfer must be explained to the juvenile as soon as possible after admission to a program.04.Reintegration Staffing. The juvenile services coordinator shall convene a reintegration staffing, which will include the juvenile offender's probation officer, the Provider, the juvenile offender's parent or guardian, an education representative, and the juvenile offender. At a minimum, a review of the plans to address any ongoing medical or mental health, substance abuse, social skills, education, vocation, independent living, and other special needs will be conducted. The juvenile offender's relapse prevention plan will be reviewed by the juvenile probation officer, the juvenile's parent or guardian, the education representative, and juvenile services coordinator. Based upon the results of that staffing and pending juvenile services coordinator approval of the relapse prevention plan, the Department will make the final decision regarding transfer or release from Department custody.05.Check-Out Procedures. Prior to the release from Department custody or transfer, the Provider must have completed a Provider Juvenile Check-Out Form (DJC-180) supplied by the Department. The form must be dated, signed by the juvenile offender, and forwarded to the juvenile services coordinator and any designees on the actual date that the juvenile offender leaves the program. a. The Provider must provide the juvenile's Medicaid card and a thirty (30) day supply of all medications or a thirty (30) day prescription signed by the physician to the individual or agency authorized to transport the juvenile offender.06.Termination Prior to Completion.a. When a Provider believes a juvenile offender is at risk for transfer prior to program completion, the juvenile services coordinator must be notified as far in advance as possible so that a staffing may be held. The purpose of this staffing is to consider the circumstances which may require the transfer, and to make every effort to address the concerns with the Provider to avoid the necessity of making another placement. The Provider must document these efforts at problem solving. The Department will make a decision about transfer based upon the results of this staffing and any subsequent work agreed upon with the Provider. The Provider can request transfer of a juvenile offender in the following circumstances: i. A pattern of documented behavior clearly indicating a lack of progress; orii. Commission of one (1) or more serious or violent incidents that jeopardize the safety and security of individuals or the program.b. In matters involving life, health, and safety of any juvenile in Department custody, the Department shall remove the juvenile offender immediately.c. A final progress report must include, at a minimum, a report on progress or lack of progress on all service implementation plan areas and recommendations for follow-up. The report must be forwarded to the juvenile services coordinator within twenty-four (24) hours of transfer prior to program completion.Idaho Admin. Code r. 05.02.01.155
