New Caseworkers Hired At DSS
Thirty-five of the 36 new positions have been hired as of Monday, according to DSS Commissioner Frances Lanigan. They will start to take on their own caseloads by December. Other programs to enhance and improve the department are also on-going.
The ranks of Oswego County’s Youth Court swelled by nearly two dozen on Tuesday night. Youth Court is a recognized community diversion program aimed at keeping young offenders out of Family Court. Research has shown that youth who go through the Youth Court process “are very unlikely” to be repeat offenders. The program gives young offenders who stay out of trouble a fresh start.
