4) We have made gre<strong>at</strong> strides to decrease placement <strong>of</strong> children with SED in detention<br />

facilities, we will not be able to maintain these gains without public beds or dollars.<br />

It is not my intent to oppose the commissioner’s plan to close public child beds. I <strong>am</strong> willing<br />

to assist in any way I can to move his plan forward in the future. However, we want to<br />

ensure th<strong>at</strong> unnecessary grave consequences to children, f<strong>am</strong>ilies & our communities do not<br />

occur because we closed beds prior to development <strong>of</strong> a comprehensive, detailed plan for<br />

wh<strong>at</strong> will replace those public beds.<br />

Thank you.
