• Partnered with the Madison Metropolitan School District to open the Office of Youth Engagement to connect our court ordered children with education. • Worked with MMSD and the Department of Public Instruction to revamp its process of shortened school days given to court ordered children with IEP’s. • Provided opportunities for community leaders to do “ride along” with judges in order to witness the court process and offer support for young people. • Give gift cards to young people who are achieving and staying out of trouble. This gives some food to eat who may not have it otherwise. • More frequent reviews to ensure that children are receiving the adequate mental health services they need in a timely fashion. • Connecting black and brown youth with culturally relevant services that address their trauma and over needs.
In Collaboration with other Dane County Judges, Judge Mitchell has made several accomplishments in his judicial role: collaboration
• Building stability in the family units of the young people so they are less likely to reoffend.
• Connecting at risk young people with mentors to support them and fill in the gap of services.
• Bringing at risk school programs into the courtroom to discuss better options and hopes to reduce their involvement in the juvenile justice and adult criminal justice system.
