Compass Center for Families community update
Summary
Compass served 1,266 Sheridan County families last year through CASA advocacy, supervised visitation, parenting classes and school-linked parent liaisons, and it credited the city's GPEP funding. Council members debated whether city tax dollars should support nonprofit family services, with some urging private and church-based giving instead. Fourteen kids still need a CASA volunteer.
