   Washington Association of Juvenile Court Administrators
Request Type: Change or Enhancement
Which Systems are affected? Other
Other affected Systems / Business Processes WSART
Business Area: Other
Communities Impacted: Juvenile Court Administrators
Impact if not Resolved: Medium
Impact Description:

AOC will continue to provide access to and maintenance of data that is no longer needed or submitted by the juvenile courts for the purpose of managing aggression replacement therapy programs.

What is the Business Problem or Opportunity

Independent third-party research by the Washington State Institute for Public Policy has revealed that the Washington State Aggression Replacement Training does not provide effective treatment outcomes:

https://www.wsipp.wa.gov/ReportFile/1707

At the April 29, 2021 juvenile court strategic planning meeting, the decision was made to remove WSART functionality from future roadmap planning for JCS. As no further AOC-based support is intended by the juvenile courts, the Juvenile Court Program requests sunsetting of the existing application maintained by the Web Team supporting the WSART process:

https://apps.courts.wa.gov/index.cfm?fa=csTraining.wsart

This sunsetting should include:

  • Removing the application itself, alongside any database information associated with that application;
  • Removing any links to that application from Inside Courts and other AOC-maintained web properties, and;
  • Removing any supporting infrastructure (RACF groups created for the application, for instance).
Expected Benefit:

Reduce size of AOC application portfolio; align AOC with strategic desires of the juvenile court administrators.
