“Accountability” is the buzz word being used to describe the concept
of holding individuals or agencies responsible for doing the “right
thing.”
Through H.B. 289, the state’s Family and Children First Councils
have mandated requirements including, but not limited to:
 |
aiding
families seeking assistance for their children |
 |
developing
and implementing a process that annually evaluates and
prioritizes services, fill gaps where possible, and
inventing new approaches to achieve better results for
families |
 |
maintaining an
accountability system to monitor the county council’s
progress in achieving results for families and children |
 |
developing and
implementing an interagency process to identify local
priorities, establishing local indicators and monitoring the
county’s progress toward increasing child well-being |
 |
writing an
annual plan that identifies the county’s interagency efforts
to increase child well-being |
The
operating system used by Partnerships for Success will provide the
framework for Pickaway County to report its many successes to the
State of Ohio. Our history of collaborating will allow Pickaway
County to shine.
