CPS Board hears staffing squeeze as intakes rise; 'removed 16 kids' reported
Summary
The Denton County CPS Board heard a staffing and caseload update that cited 10–11 vacancies and said staff 'removed 16 kids from their homes' amid rising intakes; the board discussed adoptive-parent services and a town-hall on alternative response.
The Denton County Child Protective Services Board on Feb. 23 heard a staff briefing that described growing caseload pressure and staff shortages. Clarice Nichols, identified in the minutes as speaking for CPS, said Martin Lopez is the new program director and the department currently has '10-11 vacancies.'
Nichols added that recent activity is substantial: staff 'removed 16 kids from their homes' for reasons including domestic violence, drug abuse, physical abuse and mental health. Board members asked about services for adoptive parents, and the minutes record that the county hosted a meeting with commissioners and planned a town-hall about the department's alternative response approach. The board did not record a formal vote on changes to services at this meeting.
