Miscellaneous Resolution #92118 May 21, 1992
BY: Ruel E. McPherson, County Commissioner-District #9
RE: (SUPPORT) County Involvement in Expanded Parental
Responsibility Training
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County, along with the Department of Social
Services and private agencies, currently participates in a thorough
training program for foster parents; and
WHEREAS the County is not involved in the formal training of
either adoptive parents or court-appointed guardians nor is the
County required to take on this responsibility; and
WHEREAS it seems reasonable that Oakland County should expand
its scope of parental training by becoming involved in working with
adoptive parents and court-appointed guardians to the same extent
as with foster parents.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners supports the concept of expanding its present
involvement in foster parent training to also include training of
adoptive parents and court-appointed guardians.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing
resolution.
#92118 May 21, 1992

Committee and the General Government Committee. There were no
