The Coordinating Council on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention is an independent body within the executive branch of the federal government. The Council's primary functions are to coordinate federal juvenile delinquency prevention programs, federal programs and activities that detain or care for unaccompanied juveniles, and federal programs relating to missing and exploited children. The Council's most recent meeting, hosted by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), was held March 3, 2006, at the White House Conference Center. The meeting included opening remarks from ONDCP Director John Walters and an overview of the Office's priorities, operations, and initiatives by John C. Horton, ONDCP's Associate Deputy Director of State and Local Affairs. The meeting also included presentations on random student drug testing by David W. Murray, Special Assistant to the Director, ONDCP, and ONDCP's Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign by the Campaign's Project Director, Laura-Ashley Overdyke.
The next Council meeting is scheduled for June 2, 2006, and will be hosted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. For meeting summaries, information about the Council's mission, and links to related resources, visit the Council's Web site at juvenilecouncil.gov.
