and personal and family stability. The plan identifies the issues to be addressed and
the respective community-based agencies, natural supports, or general resources
that will be harnessed in response. The Contractor will review and discuss with the
clients each item listed on the Care Plan individually, and both parties will agree to its
terms collectively. Shared decision-making is the crux of this document; as such, the
City of Miami Beach-Choices, et al, Inc. Page 18 of 33
Miami Beach Service Partnership

Care Coordination Plan Close-Out — The Care Coordination Plan Close-Out
documents the client's successful completion of all items and strategies identified in
the Care Plan. Conversely, failure to complete the Care Plan should trigger a referral

Restorative Justice Services — Restorative Justice is a theory of justice that
emphasizes repairing the harm caused by criminal or rule-breaking behavior. It is
best accomplished through cooperative processes that allow all willing stakeholders
to meet, although other approaches are available when that is impossible. This can
lead to transformation of people, relationships, and communities. The foundation of
Restorative Justice Services is genuine, active accountability. The emphasis of the
process is on making amends. Restorative Justice Services must focus on repairing
the harm caused by the incident and building peace within the school and community.
Restorative Justice Services are facilitated by the Contractor's trained staff members
and overseen by a certified Restorative Justice Facilitator. Restorative Justice
Services are, at minimum, two (2) hours in length and are conducted in person with
the primary client/student during the Success University Suspension Diversion
program activity. The Contractor must adhere to all rules, guidelines, policies, and
procedures as indicated by the Best Practice/Evidence-Based Program guidelines.
The Restorative Justice Facilitator will make every effort to obtain feedback directly
from all parties who were wronged or perceived to have been wronged by the
incident which resulted in the student's outdoor suspension. This information will be
used to address accountability with the primary client/student receiving the
Restorative Justice Services.
To the extent that it is possible, the Restorative Justice Facilitator will address school
attendance and performance, behavioral concerns, risk of child maltreatment, and/or
prevention of youth violence.
The provision of Restorative Justice Services results in a letter of apology from the
client to the parties who were harmed. The Restorative Justice Facilitator will issue
City of Miami Beach-Choices, et al, Inc. Page 20 of 33
Miami Beach Service Partnership
an assessment of the client's progress, recommendations for improved behavior and
academic/school success, and recommendation for shortened length of suspension
term, if applicable.
