Residents in Kaufman County looking to stay current on child welfare initiatives and issues should mark their calendars for May 20. That Wednesday evening, the Kaufman County Child Welfare Board is slated to hold its monthly public meeting, as detailed on the county's official website. Interested parties can attend the meeting in person at the Kaufman County Development Services office, 101 N. Houston Street, or virtually via a Zoom link that will be provided.
For those dedicated to the care and protection of the community's young, onlookers can expect discussions on the state of child welfare in the area. Reporting obligations will be fulfilled by Larry Barksdale, the Faith-Based and Community Engagement Specialist-Region 3E, and Allyah Taylor, the EMPOWER Community Engagement Specialist, who will be presenting summary reports for Kaufman County. As Kaufman County's public notice states, reported from the Child Protective Services' investigations, funding requests, and updates on conservatorship cases will be reserved for board members' ears alone during the CPS and Empower segment of the meeting.
Those seeking more details or with questions are directed to Courtney Wortham, contactable at 972-740-9571, as stated in their public notice.
