Tazewell County CPMT approves funding for foster care, CPS and related services after closed-session review
Summary
The Tazewell County Community Policy and Management Team unanimously approved funding for foster care, child protective services, Cumberland services, court services and Tazewell County Schools following a closed-session review of individual cases; the action was certified under Virginia FOIA with an 8-0 recorded vote and one absence.
The Tazewell County Community Policy and Management Team voted unanimously April 28 to approve funding for foster care, child protective services (CPS), Cumberland services, court services and Tazewell County Schools following a closed-session review of individual cases.
Lori Gates-Addison moved to approve the funding; Shelby Mitchell seconded and the motion was carried unanimously. The CPMT had first voted to enter a closed session to discuss the listed cases and associated funding, a motion made by Robin Jackson and seconded by Robbie Davis. After returning to open session, the body adopted the Virginia Freedom of Information Act certification resolving that only matters lawfully exempted were discussed. The certification vote was recorded as 8 ayes, 0 nays, with one member absent (Shanna Plaster).
The motion approved funding to provide services for the discussed cases; specific dollar amounts or line-item allocations were not specified in the meeting minutes. Because the matters discussed in closed session involve individual child welfare cases, participants affirmed the confidentiality of case details.
The CPMT adjourned at 11:28 a.m.; the next meeting is scheduled for May 19, 2025 at 10:00 a.m.
