DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED 3rd Quarter: Attached SSMT 03-03.
4 th Quarter Federal Response: This step is noted as achieved based on the enhancement to CPRS (inclusion of specific elements of
adoption policy) and completion of training. Reporting system that will trigger an exception report when TPR's are not filed timely
was split out into Step E4 after the 1 st quarter. However, it appears as if true achievement of this step and E4 will happen when the
State is able to provide data regarding how this new system is assisting the counties in appropriately identifying cases for TPR.

BARRIERS TO ACHIEVEMENT:

3 rd Quarter Georgia's Reply: No. Goal Achieved.
E4 ACTION STEPS:
Develop measures to determine that TPR is filed according to ASFA and policy (this action step was
previously attached to the above strategy in the 1 st quarter report):
Develop capacity within CPRS or another reporting system to produce an exception report when TPR and non-
