More than two years since its formation, the Child Welfare Reform Council’s chairwoman Stephanie Blank will join Division of Family and Children Services Director Bobby Cagle for a town hall tonight in Oakwood. The two will host the 5:30 p.m. event at Lanier Technical College, which will be focused on how DFCS can work in “partnership with community organizations to strengthen families and make children safer,” according to a news release. The department has worked to fulfill one of the main goals of the council’s recommendations: bringing the caseworker to caseload ratio down to 15 cases per worker.
