SUBJECT: APPROVE and AUTHORIZE a limit increase in the per secession
reimbursement for foster parents and relative care givers.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE a limit increase in the reimbursement
amount, from $5.00 to $25. 00 per training session or
meeting, for foster parents and relative care givers
effective January 1, 1996.
FISCAL•
These expenses are claimable, 75% titles IV-E, 17. 5% CWS
allocation, and 7.5% County cost. At the maximum activity
level anticipated this would amount to less than $2 , 250
county cost per year.
BACKGROUND;
An integral part of the Foster Parent Program is to develop
and maintain the skills of licensed foster parents and
relative care givers. Ongoing training is provided through
the community colleges and the Foster Pride/Adopt Pride
Program which address the full range of parenting skills
needed to care for children including the special needs of
medically fragile and drug exposed children. The existing
reimbursement rate of $5.00 per session was set by the Board
of Supervisors March 11, 1980 and is no longer a viable
amount. The reimbursement is designed to cover milage,
registration/tuition, books, supplies, etc. and will vary on
a case by case basis.
