The Evening Reporting Center, an alternative center for juvenile delinquents that has been suspended for about six months due to a lack of funding, may be able to reopen in a month with an infusion of stimulus grant funding, according to Rockdale County Juvenile Court Judge William Schneider The center is a program of the Rockdale juvenile courts which was recently awarded a Byrne/JAG grant, which is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Schneider said it costs about $60,000 a year to run the program and that the grant would "assist with the hiring of a director" for the center
