[Tricountydirectorsgroup] FW: OCFS Website Update

[Lorraine Kinney-Kitchen]

FYI.see below. Our concerns during advocacy efforts about the website have
been heard! The "Serious Violation in the past 2 years" question has been
removed. I thought you would definitely be interested in knowing this and
the rest of the changes to OCFS website.

Have a great day 

Lorraine

OCFS Website Update

 

Hello All,

I wanted to update you with some recent changes to the OCFS Website. 

 

CCFS now provides fully automated submission of fingerprint waivers. It
should be noted that this waiver process replaces both the Modality Change
Form and the Fingerprint Waiver Form.

 

Several changes have been implemented on the Day Care Search function:

Search now  includes School District

There is a display indicator that provider operates during non-traditional
hours. This is defined as follows:

*	Traditional hours of care are defined as:   SACC -  Monday through
Friday two hours before and three hours after school, when school is in
session, and full days following regular opening and closing times during
school breaks and vacations; 
*	DCC, FDC and GFDC - Monday through from Friday 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM
*	Non-Traditional is defined as anything outside these parameters

Any reference to a "Serious"  violation no longer appear on the Website. The
wording has been changed from "Is there currently unresolved serious
violation" TO "Is there currently an uncorrected violation" 

 

The question  & answer to "Has there been a serious violation in the past 2
years" has been removed from the Website.    

 

Please let me know if you have questions. Thanks.
