A power point presentation was shown. If you would like handouts regarding this overview, please contact Dawn. 3) Parent Education Workgroup. This was put together to look at the gaps in service in the county with parent education. One main area that was missing was the parenting education around the age group of 10 -17. The focus is now to respond what parents need in support and education. This group took some information from a couple of prior surveys and created a survey to find out what the needs are in this area. There were several providers who are handing out the survey. Joan Sprain will compile the information and the workgroup will look at the results to see what the next steps will be. If Schools have a way to pass the survey out it would be welcomed to gather more data. If you want an electronic version please e -mail Dawn Campbell. If anyone would like to join this group, volunteers are welcomed. 5) Facilitation Training: This is a revisit from the previous meetings. This stems from the capacity work group results. There were 13 identified people that could be trained to help with facilitation CFS teams in the county. Training was looked at being conducted to train those people to help with the capacity issue. The question presented is there enough interest to look at this training currently. The suggestion was to come up with a couple of dates to work with to bring back to the possible people who may want to participate. It most likely would be in February. A date will be looked at and sent out to get feedback. 6) Contact with Absentee voting members. In our bylaws if voting member would miss 2 meetings in a row the chair would contact them to see what the circumstances are around the issue. River Falls School District, New Richmond School District, and Turning Point c are voting members who have been absent for consecutive meetings. Patti Phillips will make some contacts with School Districts. The membership committee has had been in contact with Turning Point to identify a new contact person. 7) Future Direction of the Committee. Some ideas that were discussed at the state visit were families not knowing about CFS earlier when they were having problems initially. Toni Chambers made a suggestion to wait until surveys get back and look at the results to help give direction to the Committee. It was discussed that our next meeting it should be focused on the future direction with the Committee. SUB - COMMITTEE REPORTS: Quality Assurance: Annual self evaluation is due coming up.
