Goal 8: Data Collection/Analysis and Reporting CDE will provide counties with annual reports that will include data points from CALPADS for foster youth that will be used to evaluate programs. Foster Focus will allow FYS to work with school liaisons to focus on specific students who need assistance in meeting benchmarks, track services provided to students, and generate reports for accountability purposes. FY Liaisons at each schools site will work closely with the county Liaison to ensure CALPADS data is accurate. Objective 8.1: Description of progress toward established objective. Foster Focus Agreement was finally approved by CWS/Tuolumne County Counsel and will be implemented no later than Spring 2017. Successes: Please check the appropriate box indicating the completion status of the objectives. Met In Progress Not Met Modified Unfunded If or was checked, please provide a brief narrative about that success. Please attach any evidence that Met, In Progress, Modified supports progress toward the goal. (Example: Qualitative and Quantitative data indicating funding is dedicated to practices resulting in improved educational outcomes, such as: achievement, attendance, or other measures of increased engagement or achievement.) Challenges: Please describe any challenges that hindered completion of the objectives in the work plan through June 30, 2016. TCSOS started developing the Foster Focus agreement with Child Welfare, Probation and LEAs in Spring 2016. The agreement was finally approved by Tuolumne County legal counsel and we are finally able to move forward in implementation. It is expected that by Spring 2017, all LEAs will be utilizing Foster Focus to not only identify Foster Youth, but track services and resources provided to youth. In addition, a practice has existed in our county where technology personnel oversaw CALPADS data. Due to work in our Foster Youth Council, the practice is started to shift to at least include administrators who have programmatic knowledge of student programs. We expect to see increased local matches and more accurate data in the coming year. CDE Program Support: Please describe how CDE could assist you in overcoming any challenges. Tuolumne County LEAs and County personnel need support with CALPADS in regards to understanding how LEA Student Information Systems and CALPADS interact with each other and to identify gaps in data analysis and accuracy tracking needs at their local level.
