5 th Quarter Report: CPRS will be available for inclusion of the required information by December 2003 (data fields will be
available). Reports will then be automatically generated. Quarterly reports will be established. Some refinements in reporting
requirements are still necessary. However, reporting should begin in January 2004.
BARRIERS TO ACHIEVEMENT:
I8 ACTION STEPS: A contractor needs to be selected to conduct a study on the efficiency of FP/BP using data from all 159
counties.
3rd Quarter Report: Requesting ACF approval to change this Action Step to: The state will develop an
approach to continually measure the effectiveness of the First Placement Best Placement Assessment/Wrap
Around Services model.
3 rd Quarter Federal Response: We will review this action step together at the end of 4 th Qtr.
5 th Quarter Report: Per Annual Evaluation/Renegotiation Report this step was requested to be deleted due to
the limited resources of the State to secure a contractor to perform an analysis of the Comprehensive Child and
Family Assessments model (First Placement Best Placement). Additionally, State staff resources are not
sufficient to undertake such an effort. Deletion of this step does not adversely impact the goals.
