Weekly summary for Morgan Hill

May 4, 2026 to May 10, 2026 • Updated May 7, 2026

This week in Morgan Hill, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors continued addressing youth-related issues with a focus on juvenile justice disparities and support services for dually involved youth.

- Continued evaluation of voluntary services effectiveness for youth involved with both child welfare and probation systems.
- County discussions on transportation services for foster youth to maintain school stability.
- Monitoring of the county Department of Family and Children’s Services under expanded state oversight following recent child welfare system failures.
