Which children may be served by the teams?
In general, the children who would have been served by one of the original funding streams placed in the pool are targeted for services through CSA. The children who would have been served by education funds and/or foster care funds placed in the pool are considered mandated for service. This is because there is sum sufficient language attached to them in the Federal law and/or the Code of Virginia. Also considered mandated are those children who are at risk of removal from their own homes and meet the guidelines for Foster Care Prevention Services, as well as abused or neglected children, as defined in §63.2-100 of the Code of Virginia.
