Call to Order

The meeting was called to order by Chairperson C. Cagle.  Roll call determined that a quorum was present.

 

Review of State Plan FY 2011 Process - M. Malloy

The cover document in the meeting packet outlined the basics of the State Plan process.  The State Plan is mandated by Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) and summarizes MRS outcomes from the previous fiscal year, as well as activities expected to be accomplished during the next fiscal year.  The entire document is submitted to RSA by July 1st of each year; RSA then reviews it and decides whether or not to approve.  This is the contract between MRS and RSA.  

 

Review of Attachment 4.2 for State Plan FY 2012  - J. Brown

The Ad Hoc State Plan Committee finalized the draft of Attachment 4.2, which is the Council’s section of the State Plan that details MRC activities during FY 2010.  Content and formatting suggestions were made in order to improve readability.  Recommendations to MRS were carried forward from the previous year with only a slight change in language for one recommendation.

 

Discussion about Draft Attachment 4.2

The draft was discussed by the membership.  C. Cagle thanked J. Brown, S. Halacka, L. Zelley, and MRC staff for their work on the document.   With the Comprehensive Statewide Needs Assessment (CSNA) due to be completed this year, Attachment 4.2 may need to be updated once the final CSNA report is published.  In addition, MRS is waiting on the CSNA report to complete their sections of the State Plan.

 

A motion was passed to approve Attachment 4.2 as presented.

            

Adjournment

The meeting was adjourned at 12:20PM. 

 

Next Meeting:  April 21, 2011 at Michigan Career and Technical Institute, Plainwell
