The National Association of manufacturers warn the new regulations will be the most expensive ever imposed on industry in america. Stephanie, that sounds like exaggeration to me. Is big business crying wolf . We are no longer in this big business versus government scenario. We are not . We are not. That sounds pretty extreme. Lets look at california. Every californian is going to agree, we want stricter regulation around auto emission. No one is saying we dont want more regulations, but it has to be smart regulations. For 40 years, every single environmental regulation businesses have said, it will wreck the economy. Other times, the economy does fine. It seems a little over the top. At the end of the day, you have to meet somewhere in the middle. Is there a chance we can meet in the middle on this . It does not seem like that is in the offing. We absolutely need it. They have to impose some level of regulations or they are going to be the odd man out. You sound incredibly reasonable.

At the elementary level we have stand alone sites at Chinese Mission center and Mission Education center and middle school we have pathways within the comprehension schools in these areas and we have a new comer strand there so students are able to receive support but take other classes as well and similar to high school we have new comer pathways at lincoln, marshal and Sf International and also washington high school.

Our attention. They would come to our attention if there were any allegations of abuse or neglect or through Mental Health services they were referred to us because there were issues with the families they are with. Any foster care providers that we utilize are required to complete a state licensing process for background checks and a grounds inspection, and most recently this require became a standard for all relatives and non related extended family members so we are now in the process of having the samesame standard as we call it for relatives and extended family members and licensed caregivers. We are working with the department of Public Health to develop a First Encounter protocol and i am working with the state department of social services in discussing this issue and usually we have about a monthly call. Weve provided the departments numbers Contact Numbers for our child abuse hot line and for our Foster Parent recruitment line because we have seen an uptake in people interest

Boundaries and that we were coordinated and i should say that Health Commission passed an ordinance supporting this effort. We have developed a draft resource guide that allows us to understand all of the Resources Available for the young people and their families. The Behavioral Health has come together, the treatment providers have come together to meet and talk about what best practices are culturally specifically identifying leads who could provide the services and where they could access the services so we knew when they came to us we had the best appropriate services. We have developed a First Encounter check list. This is a very important item that we didnt really have before because we know that a lot of folks will be visiting homes, School Districts, nurses, others and what we discussed we wanted to have a common set of questions so as we visited homes we can get data around risk and trauma scprt questions so we developed a check list with maternal child and adolescent health
