The settlement of the DHS lawsuit with New
York-based Children’s Rights, Incorporated concerning the adequacy of
Michigan’s Children Services program has resulted in some dire ramifications
for DHS Managers & Specialists. Some provisions of the agreement
mandate that Supervisors be required to obtain Master’s Degrees and pass
annual competency exams. Any MAGE member interested in serving on DHS
work groups convened to implement this plan should contact John DeTizio
jdetizio@mage.org
This year’s DOC budget includes
boilerplate language which requires that a workload study of Parole or Probation
Agent Supervisors and Managers be conducted.
The study shall assess the ability of the supervisors and managers to
carry a caseload of parolees, probationers, or both, in addition to completing
their professional duties as supervisors and managers. MAGE has obtained an agreement with the
Department to provide input into any study and be included in any workgroups or
committees convened to address this issue. MAGE members interested in providing input
or testimony should contact John DeTizio at jdetizio@mage.org
