Kewaunee County meeting approves narrower qualifications change for Children's Long Term Support case manager
Summary
At a Kewaunee County meeting, officials approved a change to the Children's Long Term Support case manager job description to permit applicants with an associate degree (bachelor's preferred) and to note bilingual ability as desirable; the motion passed by voice vote.
Kewaunee County officials approved changes to the job description for a Children's Long Term Support case manager after staff presented revisions that broaden hiring eligibility and add language preferences.
County staff told the meeting that “the current version requires a bachelor's degree in social work or a related field” and that the proposed change would allow applicants with an associate degree to be eligible while keeping the bachelor’s degree listed as preferred. Staff also said that fluency in a language in addition to English would be listed as desirable.
The change was presented as a way to increase the applicant pool while relying on on-the-job training for program-specific skills. A meeting participant asked why language about “ability to maintain strict confidentiality” had been struck; staff said the phrase was redundant and that confidentiality remains an expectation. The presentation noted the position had previously been split between two programs and that the revised description reflects current program assignments.
A motion to approve the job description changes “as presented by Ed and Sherry” was made during the meeting and seconded; the motion carried by voice vote. The meeting record does not include a roll-call tally.
Why it matters: permitting an associate degree for the position and flagging bilingual ability as desirable may broaden the candidate pool for county case management work for children who receive long-term supports, while the county said program-specific training is provided after hire.
Details not specified in the meeting record: the amended job description does not list a hiring timeline, a specific wage or pay grade in the transcript, nor a numerical vote tally.
