Introduction

The Stark County Day Reporting Program was established in 1998 through grant funding from the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections (ODRC) to work in conjunction with the Stark County Adult Probation Program as a non-residential prison and jail diversion program. Together Day Reporting and Adult Probation have a goal of diverting offenders from prison by placing them on community supervision and providing interventions to meet their needs.

Staff

The program employs licensed counselors, social workers and chemical dependency counselors to provide treatment and intervention to participants who are referred by the Adult Probation Department. Staff also consists of a community service officer, community service coordinator, day jail monitor and receptionist to assist the participants in completing all orders of their sentencing judge for the felony conviction. Day Reporting staff works closely with Adult Probation to assist participants in meeting the goals of their individual case plans and treatment plans.

  • Assessment and treatment for substance abuse

The Community Service Department will attempt to schedule community service around the offender's work and other appointments. However, the offender is expected to complete the assigned hours based on the weekly minimum assigned by the Community Service Department.

After the GED intake is complete, the instructor will have an idea of how long it could take to achieve your GED. Each person is different.

If you pass the Practice Test, you will be scheduled for the official GED Test.
