The Tazewell County Community Policy and Management Team unanimously approved funding for foster care, child protective services, court services, Cumberland services and Tazewell County Schools following a closed-session discussion on Aug. 26, 2024.
The motion to enter closed session was made by Jeff Brintle and seconded by Shanna Plaster; the CPMT certified the closed meeting under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act provisions (Code of Virginia §§ 2.2-3711 and 2.2-3712) with a recorded vote of 7 ayes, 0 nays and 2 members absent. After reconvening, Jeff Brintle moved to approve the funding for the cases discussed; David Taylor seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Why it matters: CPMT funding approvals determine local payments and placements for children and families served under the Children’s Services Act. The meeting minutes state the closed session addressed specific cases and the allocation of funds to support services identified for those cases.
The minutes do not list case or dollar details; they record only that the funding motion was approved. The CPMT followed the statutory process for closing a meeting to discuss confidential foster care and CPS matters and certified the legality of the closed session on the record.
The meeting adjourned at 10:59 a.m.; the CPMT’s next scheduled meeting is Sept. 23, 2024.
