The Wythe County Community Policy & Management Team approved $146,950.03 in Children’s Services Act (CSA) services for April during its April 28, 2026 meeting, including several drug‑testing charges previously approved in March.
On a motion by Stephen Bear, seconded by K.J. Holbrook, the Team approved FAPT‑recommended services and the drug‑testing services presented to the body. The approved services span family foster care, treatment foster care, foster‑care prevention in‑home counseling, parent reunification, residential education, equine therapy and other case supports. The Team’s recorded vote listed Kimberly Ayers, K.J. Holbrook, Diane Charapich, Shannon Vaught, Stephen Bear and Lacey Canterbury as voting aye; there were no recorded nays.
The itemized list that the Team approved includes multiple case numbers with individual amounts; the meeting minutes record the total approved CSA expenditures for April at $146,950.03. Several approved line items explicitly list drug testing as the service type; the minutes show individual drug‑testing charges ranging from modest amounts (e.g., $400) to larger sums (multiple entries across cases). The minutes also include services such as parent coaching, intensive care coordination, mentoring, psychological evaluations and private day school costs.
Separately, on a motion by Lacey Canterbury seconded by Stephen Bear, the Team unanimously approved $20,108.73 in non‑FAPT expenditures for March. The non‑FAPT items were described as basic foster care maintenance for 12 youth, enhanced foster care maintenance for nine youth, independent living maintenance for one youth and supplemental clothing purchased for two foster children.
Meeting materials and the minutes indicate that the approvals followed the Team’s standard process for FAPT‑reviewed and non‑FAPT expenditures; no oppositions or abstentions were recorded in the minutes for these votes. The Team also recorded three absences for the meeting (Billy Rice, Vicky Richardson and Anthony Cline).
The Team will next meet on May 26, 2026.
