The completed CS-1, and Adolescent FST Guide & Individualized Action Plan for youth age 14 or over, should be submitted to court as a replacement for the six-month court report or in conjunction with the submittal of the six-month court report.
If a CS-1 is completed for the meeting, the parents, resource providers, and youth age 12 and older, as appropriate, should be provided with a copy of the completed CS-1, either directly after the FST/PPRT meeting or within five (5) days through the mail.
There are no exceptions to conducting the FST/PPRT. A child must have a FST/PPRT even though it is anticipated that the child will be reunified with parents within a short period of time; or, the Division is planning to place the child for adoption within a short period of time. In other words, FST/PPRTs are conducted according to the time schedule as long as the Division has custody.
