This state-only discussion, sponsored by the Child Welfare Technical Working Group (CWTWG) allowed child welfare information system project managers to air issues, questions, and concerns, and to develop a list of queries and comments for federal response at the end of the meeting. The topics in this open and interactive session included: Federal staff did not participate in the first half of the call, so state staff could confidentially raise topics and develop a shared list of comments and questions about CCWIS and other topics of their choice. Questions and comments were displayed on a virtual whiteboard to capture the collective voice of the child welfare information system project managers. The federal analysts joined at the end of the call to respond to the inquiries. These calls are not recorded. Metadata-only record linking to the original dataset. Open original dataset below.
