7. From the Assembly Select Committee on Foster Care
The Assembly Select Committee on Foster Care would like to solicit your perspective on the foster care system. It is the goal of Majority Leader Karen Bass to initiate an email dialogue that results in real change to the foster care system. The Majority Leader would like to do this in a non-restrictive fashion. Often times we’re precluded from thinking big due to the restraints of funding; but what if money wasn’t an issue? Ms. Bass would like for people to begin to dream about what the foster care system should look like if money were not a concern!
The Assembly Select Committee on Foster Care has spent two years working together to improve the lives of foster children in California. After our many successes, the time is now to abandon our "boxes", our "silos" and dream!!! What if we could emulate the work of Proposition 63 and create a permanent funding stream to dramatically improve the foster care system in the State of California? We need your active involvement to be successful. Send an email to Marcus.McKinney@asm.ca.gov and respond to the following question:
From Your Vantage Point
If money were not an issue, what would the ideal child welfare system look like?
From Your Vantage Point
Irrespective of your role in the foster care system, if you are a social worker, if you are a young person in the system, if you are a foster parent, or if you are an advocate, please, please let us know what you would like to see. Feel free to comment outside of your particular vantage point. Please respond as soon as possible.
