Case Study: School House Adjustment Program Enterprise (SHAPE)

Program Name:

School House Adjustment Program Enterprise (SHAPE)


Description:

The School House Adjustment Pro-gram Enterprise, commonly known by its acronym SHAPE, began in July 2007. Memphis City Schools (MCS) received grant funding through the Disproportion-ate Minority Contact (DMC) Pilot Pro-ject administered by the Tennessee Com-mission on Children and Youth (TCCY) to implement SHAPE.


The program is a collaborative effort between MCS, the Shelby County Juvenile Court, the Mem-phis Police Department (MPD), the Shelby County Mayor’s Office, the Memphis City Mayor’s Office, the Pub-lic Defender’s Office, and the District Attorney’s Office. SHAPE is a diversion program that seeks to reduce the number of minority youth who are transported and booked into juvenile detention for especially minor charges.
