Foster Care Reform Delays Hit Florida Program
Tallahassee officials report little action on a seven month old study urging statewide foster care reform. The 1975 report urged uniform payments, better interdivisional coordination, clear standards, and increased funding, with Endsley citing a need for about 16 million dollars. Officials blame slow implementation on reorganizations, new administrators, and budget pressures while noting current payments range from 100 to 240 dollars monthly.
