Efforts to place siblings in the same home will be
documented in at least 90% of cases by June 2004.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
1 st Quarter Report: Goal 2, Steps 1 - 4: A workgroup is being formed to address changes needed to improve the Supervisory Review
Form and implementation process. The committee is aware of PIP requirements to place siblings together, if possible or feasible. They
expect to revise the Supervisory Review Form to document efforts to place siblings together.
2 nd Quarter Report: Achieved. The requirements for exhaustive efforts to place sibling groups together were emphasized in CPRS
training sessions completed in February 2003 for staff statewide. All staff are required to document efforts to place siblings together.
2 nd Quarter Federal Response: What can the State give us to show this has been achieved?

case plan.
