Warren County approves child-welfare data-sharing upgrade and advances Shownee Youth Services plan
Summary
Commissioners approved participation in a state child-welfare data-sharing upgrade (staff said the discussed upgrade had no local cost) and approved the narrative portion of Shownee Youth Services' needs-based plan contingent on staff review; the narrative will be published July 24 with a public hearing on August 4.
County staff discussed a yearly upgrade to the child welfare information system and a related data-sharing agreement with the state, then asked the board to approve participation in the program.
A commissioner initially stated, "our share is $4,500 of the $500,000," but the presenter clarified that the specific upgrade being discussed carried no local cost for the county. Shownee Youth Services requested approval of its narrative and asked the board to approve it now because the board's next meeting falls after the submission deadline. The presenter said the narrative will be published for a week starting July 24 and a public hearing on the narrative is scheduled for August 4; monetary amounts for the needs-based budget will be presented to the board at that August meeting. The board approved the software/data-sharing participation and approved the narrative contingent on final review.
