Rules Committee meets
The Rules Review Committee met July 8 to discuss rules currently in pre-clearance and clearance with ODJFS staff. The rules included case plan rules, Title IV-E contract and contract monitoring for non-placement services, foster youth bill of rights, and resource family bill of rights. The committee will continue to meet virtually at least through the end of 2021, and its next meeting is Sept. 2.

Gov. DeWine announced that effective July 5, Matt Damschroder will move from interim director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services to its permanent director. Director Damschroder shared his story as a foster parent and his respect for our agencies' work at the executive membership meeting last month. He will also join us at our annual conference on Oct. 1.
