REPORT OF SELECT COMMITTEE
STATE OF WASHINGTON
FAMILY POLICY INITIATIVE
14th and Jefferson
P. O. Box 45015
Olympia, Washington 98504-5015

Dear Mr. Brown:
Enclosed is the Family Policy council Co-location of Staff Report requested of the Council in a proviso in the 1993-95 budget. The proviso directed the Family Policy Council to "establish procedures for location of appropriate counseling staff of participating agencies in public schools".
The issues surrounding co-location of those staff resources in public schools are numerous and reflect the complexity of the health, human service, and education systems which have developed in the state and nation over the past thirty years. The issues have their roots in the nature of various categorical program structures and funding streams as well as professional education certification and labor practices, administrative procedures, etc. In effect, they are no less complicated than the combined state and local systems which have evolved in human services.
For those reasons, the most effective procedures to re-locate existing staff are not always easily isolated from the larger task of changing the culture of the system which we continue to do within the broader context of the Family Policy Initiative. The restructuring of family services, as proposed in the Governor's Youth Agenda will do much to facilitate co-location.
Included in this report are a number of findings which can serve as guidance to local communities interested in pursuing co-location, as well as two specific recommendations to the Legislature. At the conclusion of the current legislative session, a specific action plan will be assembled and implemented to further our co-location efforts.
Sincerely,
JEAN T. SOLIZ, Chairperson
The Select Committee Report is on file in the Office of the Secretary of the Senate.
