CPMT finalizes 2023–2024 Long Range Plan, debates chair rotation and OCS assessment duties
Summary
CPMT approved the 2023–2024 CSA Long Range Plan with updated review dates, debated rotating members into Chair/Vice Chair roles and discussed incomplete OCS Self‑Assessment workbook entries and member attendance concerns.
The Tazewell County CPMT approved the finalized 2023–2024 CSA Long Range Plan and agreed to update the local CSA Policy and Procedure Manual with added review dates. Lori Gates‑Addison moved to approve the plan; Ryan Thomas seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Members resumed a prior discussion about rotating a member (Dr. Brown) into the Chair position and Roberta Boyd into Vice Chair for the July 1, 2024–June 30, 2025 term. Dr. Brown had provided written consent but was not present; members agreed mandated membership should be prioritized when rotating leadership. Robin Jackson said she would check with her supervisor about a directive that the Health Department may be prohibited from serving as Chair or Vice Chair.
The coordinator presented the Office of Children’s Services (OCS) Self‑Assessment Workbook Section I (Governance) and explained the assessment is intended to be completed by CPMT collectively during meetings. Several members said they were uncertain how to answer some questions and three members had submitted completed assessments; others had not. The coordinator reiterated that most answers are contained in the local policy manual and that the workbook is a tool for program review and audit preparation.
Members discussed inconsistent attendance among CPMT members and the impact on operations; the group considered drafting a letter to remind members of attendance expectations tied to CPMT responsibilities.
