Extractions: STATE CONTEXT FOR CHANGE OHIO Governor Voinovich has established a Human Resources Advisory Council to guide state policy on workforce development issues. As an initial charge to the Council, it developed and published Windows of Opportunity, an inventory of Ohio's workforce development programs. This document identified $981 million in related workforce development funds that currently are channeled to at least 15 agencies, 31 workforce preparation programs, and 20 supplemental programs. The result is a complicated web of job training services, funding streams, eligibility requirements and performance standards. The Council is committed to developing a clear strategic focus from this confusing web. Most recently, in response to JTPA amendments, the Governor's Human Resources Advisory Council is developing a recommendation to the Governor for the transition to an "investment" council. The proposal will focus on streamlining the advisory process by expanding the Council's scope and role, and combining planning and oversight for multiple human resource programs. Three separate, but complementary, state policy frameworks have been completed which reflect the broad vision and scope of change in Ohio and the need to use a collaborative and comprehensive approach for addressing the issues:

Extractions: Approximately 90,000 young people are now in custody in public and private juvenile correctional facilities in the United States. Those incarcerated are disproportionately male, African-American, poor, and have significant learning and/or emotional problems that entitle them to special education services. The most common disabling conditions among juvenile offenders are developmental and learning disabilities as well as emotional or behavioral disorders. Many juveniles with disabilities in detention do not receive the educational services to which they are entitled. Studies document the failure of juvenile correctional institutions to provide adequate educational services to young people with disabilities. Ineffective governance of education programs in juvenile corrections, the mobility of adjudicated young people, and poorly developed links between public schools and institutional settings contribute to the academic problems of incarcerated young people.
