IX.
Round Robin
·
Mrs. Jenkins reported that from a meeting she attended
in Raleigh two weeks ago, instructions were given to build network
based on community needs. If a consumer were to request services
from a provider who was not in the network, they can receive that
specific service from the provider as long as that provider meets
the minimum qualifications to have been in the network.
·
CCMHC is in the process of completing the community
capacity data and then will make a decision as to the number of
providers who will be admitted into the network.
·
Ms. Alice Smith is working in collaboration with FSU
to charter an alternative school that will be located on the campus
of the university for grades pre-K through sixth grade. Still in
the process of finding a location for High School. The intended
name of the charter school is the Willis McLeod Renaissance School
of Cumberland County.
