The juvenile division for Cape Girardeau, Perry and Bollinger counties received a $152,530 grant from the Missouri Division of Youth Services, according to an announcement from juvenile officer Randy Rhodes.
The division will use the funds on juvenile offender-enhanced supervision, including rehabilitation services, continuation of alternative classrooms for students on suspension in the Cape Girardeau School District and community service and restitution projects that covers Cape Girardeau, Perry and Bollinger counties.
“The program will service juvenile offenders at the local level so they may be afforded the necessary services through the local courts and can remain in the community,” Rhodes wrote in a release.
