Corrections & Clarifications: A previous version of this article gave an incorrect first name for group home Director Jenna Bowman. It also misstated the fee that plaintiffs attorneys may be paid for monitoring compliance with the settlement terms in the case.
A six-year drive to reform the state s foster-care system could end Friday, when a federal judge will consider final approval of a class-action settlement.
The settlement, reached in negotiations between the Arizona Department of Child Safety and child-welfare advocates, outlines four major areas of improvement. Attorneys for both sides say they expect the settlement, which got preliminary approval in October, will get a final OK from U.S. District Court Judge Roslyn Silver.
