4 th Quarter Federal Response: For this step, E12 and E13, progress narratives for all 3 quarters are exactly the same despite the fact<br />
that progress is noted as 'partially achieved' and 'achieved.' Noted as achieved but no information is given regarding impact <strong>of</strong> this<br />
system in pilot county (measurable benchmark). For this step to be achieved, State has to provide some information regarding<br />
effectiveness <strong>of</strong> this CPRS enhancement in improving outcomes.<br />
5 th Quarter Report: The report from the CPRS shows that <strong>of</strong> the over 16,000 case plans in the CPRS, 2555 record Adoption as the<br />
Permanency goal (attached). However only 76 case plans include the Adoption checklist that records the steps taken toward adoption<br />
within the CPRS. The State will explore training and data quality issues by next quarter.<br />
