Examples of policy resolution topics: Families First and Welfare Reform Reauthorization, Truancy and Drop Out Prevention / Education, TennCare, Community Services for Persons with Developmental Disabilities, Child Abuse Prevention, Early Childhood Education and more.
STATE AND LOCAL POLICY WORK
The 2007-2008 TCSW Public Policy Council is a group of state and local leaders and citizens identifying priorities for improving lives in Tennessee and in our communities. Linda O'Neal, TN Commission on Children and Youth and Keith Jones, Weakley County Juvenile Court, are the Co-Chairs. Regional Policy Committees are forming now to heighten awareness of local and state issues.
We are finding linkages among issues and disciplines with core, primary solutions that will empower Tennesseans to create and access opportunities for a better life: better education, better jobs, better families, better local and state economies, and expanded supports and services to achieve those goals.
