SECTION 415.140 REPORTS
Section 415.140 Reports
a)
Beginning
January 1, 2026 and annually thereafter, the Department shall post on its
website data from the preceding State fiscal year regarding:
1)
the
number of youth in care who were adopted specifying the length of stay in
out-of-home care and the number of youth in care who exited to permanency
through guardianship specifying the length of stay in out-of-home care and
whether the guardianship was subsidized or unsubsidized for each case;
2)
the
number of youth with the permanency goal of guardianship and the number of
youth with the permanency goal of adoption;
3)
the
number of youth in care who moved from non-relative care to a relative
placement;
4)
the number of homes that successfully became a certified
relative caregiver home;
5)
the number of reconsideration reviews of the Department's
decisions not to place a child with a relative. For data related to each
reconsideration review, the Department shall indicate whether the youth in care
resides in a licensed placement or in the home of a relative at the time of the
reconsideration review, the reason for the Department's denial of the placement
with the relative, and the outcome associated with each reconsideration review.
b)
The
Department shall include a description of the methodology the Department used
to collect the information, indicate whether the Department had any
difficulties collecting the information, and indicate whether there are
concerns about the validity of the information. If any of the data elements
required to be disclosed could reveal a youth in care's identity if revealed in
combination with all the identifying information due to small sample size, the
Department shall exclude the data elements that could be used to identify the
youth in care so that the data can be included as part of a larger sample and
report that the data was excluded for this reason.
