DISCUSS PARENT FORUM
Rebecca informed the Board of the need to bring more awareness to parents on
juvenile law updates and address the current dangers plaguing our local teens.
Rebecca invited Auto Mission, Mission Makeover and the a speaker from the
Choices program to make a presentation to the Board in hopes that the NRH Teen
Court can include these three Non-Profit agencies who work with teens daily to be
part of a Parent Forum. After all three presentations, Janet Golightly made a
motion seconded by Tito Rodriguez to organize a committee to include Teen Court
