1 st Quarter Report: Response as of 12/13/2002: There is an ongoing implementation plan for CPRS that will eventually include all

the end of January 2003, the monthly reports will begin.

the system. As of 4/16/2003 there are 11, 884 case plans in various states of revision in the system. A monthly report of parental
involvement has NOT been created as of yet, due to other functionality needs of the system, which had to be addressed first.

now required by DFCS policy. The system is available on the Internet at www.gacaseplan.org. There is also a link on this website that
allows the user with no ID or password to access a demo version of CPRS. The system collects documentation about the participation
of the parent and child in the development of the case plan. See attached the documentation CPRS 'Participation' screen print.

in J4) shows that of the 16,080 case plans in the system 11,690 documented that families participated in the development of the case
plan.
