Also this week, a program created to help juveniles out of the court system could be eliminated under a new bill.

The Family Accountability Intervention and Response, or what's called Fair Teams Program, was created in the year 2014.

The goal was to reduce juvenile court involvement through early intervention and enhanced case management.

Speaking before the Senate Judiciary Committee just yesterday, Senate Education Chair Stephen West said the program, though well-intentioned, is not meeting that goal, and that's why he's introduced Senate Bill 162 to eliminate it.

I will tell you, as education chair, we've worked a lot on discipline in schools and over the past 5 to 6 years, my number one complaint from superintendents has been fair teams.

68% of the public offense charges that we took in in Hardin County last year happened at the school.

And so I just want you to know that that's what the schools and you know, this, that's what the schools are dealing with.

Eliminating the fair teams is not to fast track, but to make our process more nimble so that we can see these cases earlier.

It does not eliminate the option for diversion that is still appropriate for many, many students.

Unfortunately, specifically students who the school deems are beyond control of the school, those oftentimes those students are also going to be beyond control of their team.

Senate Bill 162 passed out of committee by a vote of 7 to 0 with one pass vote.
