"People fat ed with losing children find their ( hallenge at first w ith the agency rather than with themselves." said Jim Dyer of Salem, who estimates he has cared for 250 foster children placed by the division in the past JO years The 190.1 legislature passed a package of bills aimed at changing the way the CSD oper ates The reform largely was the work of then House Speaker I .am Campbell, who felt CSH should move from a police style approach to more of a service oriented style, making pn-serviition of f • top goal. Campbell also thought there should lie mure emphasis on early prevention of Juvenile problems and that some programs should move closer to the local government level The name change happen* on July 1. when the CSD officially bt« times the State Offic <• for Services to ( luldren and Families A key bill passed in 1993 also »rested a stute Commission on Children and Families as the (op policy-making authority (or chil dren's programs New grassroots commissions also were established. with the idea of getting business and civic leaders and others involved in tai loring programs to local needs Hie state com mission is to evaluate the proposals and dts pcnse state money to operate them Kitzhabar't proposed 100.V97 budget shifts $18 5 million to the commission to allocate to loial programs But the biggest change yet to come, if Kitrhnlmr s plan is approved, would remove juvenile correction* programs from the chil dren* services agency altogether The governor wants to create a new Depart ment of Youth Authority, by mid Hem. to take over operation* of juvenile detention school*, parole and other program* for offenders juvenile crime is soaring, and kit/liaber proposes to arid 300 juvenile com* turns Icsls now and build four regional juvenile corns tions centers by t(MW Paul Drew*, deputy administrator of the Children's Service* Division, said removing juvenile i urre. turns from ins agem y , ..i!.j make it easier to focus on remaining child welfare issue* “It's hard to advocate for two populations." he said Those involved in children's programs say the reform plan is just getting past its infan cy and that it's too soon to gauge suu ess or failure "The implementation process hasn't real ly hit its full stride." say s Dyer, who is pres ident of the Marion -Polk Foster Parent Auo' dation. Campbell said he's pleased preventive program* such as Healthy Start, aimed at providing youngsters good nutrition, are • spending "if we re ever going to solve the problem of juvenile delinquent kids going to school without heing prepared to leant, we have got to have a strong up-front program." the for mer House speaker said The Eugene Republican also said there's not enough in the governor's proposed bud get "to make what I consider a necessary and giant leap in dealing w ith the problems of children Hut that's easy for me to say because I didn't have to devil with the entire budget. He did." Counties, meanwhile, are leery nltoul tak ing over too many of the state agency's duties "The local people have done a good job of focusing on prevention." Drews said. Hut he said many are cautious about taking on more. Drews said there’s no control over much of the workload "Courts can commit anyone to CSD," the deputy administrator said.
