The curriculum will need to follow the requirements of the legislature, HCQC and Medicaid.
Agenda #4 Website updates:
Per Skip, the website has been updated to include the separated drop down boxes that were discussed at last month’s meeting. He is waiting on approval from the rest of the website subcommittee for some of the verbiage regarding co-occurring. Skip will send 6 new documents with updated verbiage to the council, Jeanyne will re-send to make sure everyone is receiving them. Jeanyne urged the council to respond to Skip about the verbiage to let them know they have reviewed it even if they do not propose any changes….BEFORE the May meeting. We can review the final website at the May meeting and go over any questions at that time.
