Purpose

Authorizing creation of one full time Children's Long Term Support Social Worker position for the Sauk County Department of Human Services, effective January 1, 2020.

Background

The Sauk County Department of Human Services has evaluated its use of social workers within the Children’s Long Term Support Unit and, this evaluation process has determined the need for an increase in social work staff to maximize State requirements to eliminate Sauk County’s waiting list in Children’s Long Term Support.  The number of children opened in Sauk County for these services has increased 37% from 78 to 107 in 2018-2019 and is expected to increase in 2020 because of the State’s commitment to eliminate wait lists in the Children’s Long Term Support service area.  State/Federal Medicaid Waiver dollars will be used to fund this position.  Sauk County Department of Human Services is requesting authorization of one full time (1.0 FTE) Children’s Long Term Support Social Worker position to serve the residents of Sauk County effective January 1, 2020.
