Which statement about the Juvenile Case Manager Fee is true?

• A. The Juvenile Case Manager Fee may be used to finance neither juvenile case manager nor teen court coordinator.
• B. The Juvenile Case Manager Fee may be used to finance only a juvenile case manager.
• C. The Juvenile Case Manager Fee may be used to finance both a juvenile case manager and a teen court coordinator.
• D. The Juvenile Case Manager Fee may be used to finance a teen court coordinator only.

Answer: (B)

The important idea is understanding how the Juvenile Case Manager Fee is designated. This fee is set up to fund the juvenile case manager—the person who coordinates services for youth in the juvenile system, tracks progress, and communicates with families to ensure needed resources are provided. That funding is restricted to supporting that specific role, so it cannot cover the teen court coordinator, nor cover both roles. The teen court coordinator typically falls under a separate funding stream. So the statement that the fee may be used to finance only a juvenile case manager is the correct one.
