Letter of Support from
Child Advocacy Planning Retreat Participants
to Governor Roy Barnes

Honorable Roy Barnes
Governor, State of Georgia
State Capitol
Atlanta, GA 30303

Dear Governor Barnes:

We, as stakeholders in the child protection system, recognize your leadership and initiatives for change. We join you in your concern for our children and advocate for immediate action and resources to remedy the crisis and collapse of our system.

You have a budget request from DHR on your desk to improve and strengthen the child protective system. During our meeting on December 1, 2000, we agreed that the following items are critical to the welfare of our children.

• Increase and fund the number of positions for social services case management staff to move Georgia toward compliance with the caseload standards adopted by the Child Welfare League of America. We support the DHR budget request to add 196 social services case management staff for 2001, with the goal of adding 588 social services case management staff over the next 3 years. Estimated cost: $7.9 million.

• Increase salaries of our social services case management staff. Estimated cost: $11.5 million.

• Increase the hourly rates for Special Assistant Attorney Generals to $60 per hour. Estimated cost: $1.14 million.

• Increase resources to allow the development of appropriate levels of care within foster placement (MATCH rate and slots, institutionally supervised family foster care, emergency foster care and in home services, foster care per diem, institutional rate, adoption assistance, additional support to foster children based on child's age, respite care). Estimated cost: $11.3 million.

• Invest at least $2.9 million as requested for training and education of our social services case management staff.

We know you understand these are only first steps for change in Georgia. We will advocate and monitor the progress of our system toward achieving these goals. We urge your continued support and invite you to participate in this dialogue as we strive to bring excellence to our child protection system.

cc: Lieutenant Governor Mark Taylor, Sen. Terrell Starr, House Speaker Tom Murphy, Rep. Terry Coleman, Sen. George Hooks, Rep. Larry Walker, Sen. Charles Walker, Rep. Tom Buck
