Process to Request New or Additional Items

The Title IV-E program at ASU continues to enhance and enrich the contents of the Child Welfare Education Support Center. ASU Title IV-E staff, Social Work Faculty, DCFS staff, and Foster Parents may request that items be obtained and placed in the Education Support Center.

ASU Title IV-E staff and Social Work Faculty submit their requests to the Program Director of the Title IV-E program at kfullen@astate.edu. These requests are reviewed by the DCFS area manager for approval before acquisition is made. The requesting party is notified if approval is received and when the item is available for check out.

DCFS staff and foster parents can submit their requests to the DCFS area manager, Becky Dunagen, at bdunagen@arkansas.gov. The DCFS area manager forwards all approved requests to the Title IV-E Program Manager for acquisition. The requesting party and the area manager are notified when the item is available for check out.

All acquisitions are assessed for budget availability and appropriate child welfare.
