Final Report to Governor & General Assembly due Dec. 31, 2008.
The Eastern Shore Task Force on Foster Care organized in July 2007 (Chapter 400, Acts of 2007). The Task Force is to make recommendations to improve the recruitment and retention of foster care parents on the Eastern Shore. It will consider what incentives might help in recruiting and retaining foster parents; whether each local department of social services should hire a permanent staff person solely to recruit and provide support for foster parents; and how to fund such staff.
Authorization for the Task Force continues until June 30, 2009.
