Text reminders to start soon at Geuaga County Courts
CHARDON, Ohio - Geauga County Court of Common Pleas is hoping a simple solution could improve their court appearance rate significantly.
Geauga County Court was awarded a grant through the American Rescue Plan Act for a new program to send SMS/text notifications and reminders for a court appearance. According to Judge Carolyn Paschke, the grant is for less than $10,000. They hope it will make it easier to separate those who miss their court date out of earnest versus those who miss their court case to outright avoid it.
The notifications are expected to start in the near future. The benefits Geauga County is expecting are below:Increase appearance rates caused by parties not appearing due to failing to remember Reduce expenses across multiple Geauga County departments by reducing the issuing of warrants, rescheduling hearings and holding additional hearingsCopyright 2023 WOIO.
