Goal: Increase funding and support to tribal nations so that every
iij tribe
can provide the full range of child welfare services needed

ICWA 2050 has two overarching goals. First, to provide recommendations for a 25-year
strategy to strengthen ICWA's protections and ensure consistent
implementation and compliance. Second, to recognize and support the critical role
that tribal nations play in protecting Native children, helping families in tribal child welfare
systems, and assisting states as they implement ICWA. This work builds on efforts that
began many years ago at local and state levels, often led by tribal nations. Our intention is to
enhance these efforts and create more opportunities to raise awareness and strengthen
support for them. ICWA 2050 also recognizes the vital support and services that many urban
.-Indian organizations provide to Native families in urban areas in collaboration with states and
tribal nations. The strategic plan outlines the following key goals:

ProtectICWA2050

funding and responsive to the needs of tribal nations. Priorities include establishing a 5% tribal
set-aside from the Social Services Block Grant, full funding for the Indian Child Protection and
Family Violence Prevention grant programs, and amending the Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families program (TANF) so tribal nations will not rely on states to determine the federal or non­
federal share, allowing tribal nations to access full funding (federal and non-federal) directly from
the federal government. More specifically, tribal access to federal entitlement programs, capped
and uncapped, must be reformed to allow improved tribal access and operation.

{i!f Objective 2: Expand federal funding and technical assistance to help tribal nations develop

and operate tribal courts that adjudicate child welfare matters for children and families under
tribal jurisdiction. This includes increasing the Tribal Court Improvement Program funding to $5
million annually, increasing base funding to meet tribal court operational needs, and establishing
a tribal juvenile/family court technical assistance center.

{i!f Objective 3: Ensure every tribal nation that seeks to provide relative care, foster care, and

other out-of-home placements has sufficient funding to recruit, license, and support caregivers.
Tribally licensed or approved homes should have the resources and support needed to provide
quality care to Native children.

(i!f Objective 4: Equip tribal leaders with information on developing and operating effective tribal
child welfare programs and services, the importance of representation in state child protection
cases, supporting tribal-state relationships, and proper implementation of ICWA.

{i!f Objective 5: Improve access to culturally based and culturally adapted child welfare programs
and services. Ensure information is available in a variety of formats that align with a tribe's
current capacity and future goals, including practice model examples, program policies and
procedures, codes, intergovernmental agreements, training, technical assistance, and a variety
of easily accessible materials.

sovereignty and engagement in improving outcomes for Native children and families in both
tribal and state child welfare systems. This information should address effective practices and
policies to support positive tribal-state relationships and support for state efforts to improve
child welfare programs and services from state officials, tribal leaders, and experts in tribal child
welfare.

(if Objective 3: Establish state-level review systems to measure ICWA compliance,

notwithstanding federal efforts to develop an ICWA review system that guides state and tribal
efforts to evaluate ICWA implementation and improve policy and practice. These review
systems will include collecting necessary data, coordinating data analysis between states and
tribal nations, jointly identifying plans to improve state ICWA compliance, and establishing
ongoing forums and processes to maintain progress, address challenges, and build joint
ownership of the efforts.

(if Objective 4: Increase state awareness of tribal nation and urban Indian organizations

contributions to state efforts to comply with ICWA and support for services to Native children
and families in state child welfare systems. These efforts will detail the level of support tribal
nations provide to state child welfare systems, in terms of expertise and financial contributions,
and encourage advocacy to increase state financial support to tribal nations.

Memorandum
TO:

Oneida Business Committee

FROM:

Brooke Doxtator, BCC Supervisor

DATE:

October 13, 2025

RE:

CY-2026 OBC Standing Meeting and Reporting Schedules

Purpose:
The attached schedules are being presented to the Business Committee in accordance with the
Oneida Business Committee Meetings Law:
§117.6-1. Annual Schedule. The Oneida Nation Secretary shall present, on or around October of
each year, a proposed schedule for regular meetings of the Oneida Business Committee for
approval by the Oneida Business Committee.
§117.6-2. Reporting Schedule. The Oneida Nation Secretary shall present, on or around October
of each year, a proposed schedule for presentation of reports by entities at regular meetings of
the Oneida Business Committee for approval by the Oneida Business Committee.
Considerations:
§105.12-3 of the Boards, Committees, and Commissions law requires entities to provide
quarterly reports to the Oneida Business Committee in accordance with the quarterly reporting
schedule. It also requires their quarterly reports to be approved by official entity action before
they are submitted. Due to the inactive status of the Environmental Resource Board and Oneida
Personnel Commission we are requesting they be removed from the quarterly reporting
schedule until their status is updated.
Requested Action(s):
Approve the CY-2026 Oneida Business Committee regular meeting and reporting schedules.
Approve request to remove the Environmental Resource Board and Oneida Personnel
Commission from the quarterly reporting schedule until further notice.
Accept the standing meeting schedules as information.

A good mind. A good heart. A strong fire.

142 of 189

Working to provide an appropriate mix of all affordable housing types to tribal members
as defined through a Housing Needs Assessment by:
MEASUREMENT: Creating a 3–5-year Development Plan. Researching, evaluating, and applying
when needed for appropriate funding opportunities to coincide with Housing Needs Assessment.
Collaborating with various areas such as Finance, Land Commission & GTC to identify solutions
to the national housing crisis that affects our Nation.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS RELATED TO THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
With FY25 coming to a close, CHD is proud to provide tribal members with new affordable

share new inventory into the General Rental Program. These 12 multi-family units, located on
Red Willow Parkway, have 2 and 3-bedroom options: one unit being completely ADA
accessible. These units will be offered through the General Rental Program very shortly. The
Residential Sales Area has also been advertising 12 Home Building Opportunity (HBO) parcels
to potential tribal members looking to build homes. October 30-31, 2025, applications will be
accepted. On November 3, 2025, a Lottery Drawing will be held for those HBO lots via
Facebook Live at 10am.
EXPECTATIONS/FUTURE PLANS REGARDING THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
CHD will continue to work towards providing affordable housing for Oneida membership.

FY-2025 4th Quarter Report
DIVISION OF PUBLIC WORK
Status report of Outcomes/Goals
1. Which outcome/goal(s) does the Division wish to report on?
2. What metric is being used to measure the outcome/goal?
3. What are the accomplishments (i.e. positives, things for which the Division is proud,
brags) have occurred over the reporting period that reflect the Division’s progress for
reaching the outcome/goal?
4. What can the community expect to see in the future (i.e. 6 months; next year; 18
months) from the Division related to the outcome/ goal?

Outcome/Goal # 1
UPDATING & EXPANDING TECHNOLOGY:

Technology will be brought current, systems will be connected/ data shared,
technology will align with functional need

MEASUREMENT:
1. Adoption rate of staff – By implementing better technology we expect an efficiency
benefit to staff as well as improved data capture which should encourage
technology adoption.
2. Improved data outputs – An increase in the available reports and more accurate
data.
3. Reduced administration – Incorporating automation and artificial intelligence to
assist with tasks such as scheduling, and communication should significantly reduce
administration.
4. Improved attraction and retention – Using the right tools will attract younger
employees that expect to use modern technology in their work. Efficient and easy
systems will encourage retention as well.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS RELATED TO THE OUTCOME/GOAL:

Public Works sent out two major requests for proposal (RFP) during the third quarter. The
first RFP was a fleet management RFP to inquire about fleet leasing, repair services, gas
cards, and technology services. Finance returned the RFP requesting more data. The
Treasurer suggested that a strategy balancing fleet leasing and direct purchasing of
vehicles might work better. The CFO requested more information on ROI. This data is not
available in the current finance system, however, the DPW administration team has
located several boxes of maintenance data which they are entering into spreadsheets
for analysis to show the impact of vehicle age on cost.
The CFO also suggested the fleet should be reduced in size to reduce cost. The
Automotive Manager and Fleet Manager have been directed to develop standards to
ensure the fleet is appropriately sized for the Nation’s needs. This is to be completed by
the end of FY26 Q2. The Fleet Manager will install GPS units on all compatible fleet
vehicles, also by the end of FY26 Q2, to fully understand the needs and use of our fleet.
This will help with FY27 planning and fleet sizing.
The second RFP is to replace the current facilities management software. The current
software is many years out of date, uses work arounds to function properly, and has
some parts that are broken. The RFP was sent out to seven vendors which have been
systematically reduced through a process of interviews. We have just completed the
final interview with the last two competitors, Archibus and Planon, and will meet with
the selection team to choose the winner of the RFP.
This project is critical as it will help with automating the work request process by ensuring
proper routing of work request based on asset owners and work requested. This is
currently a manual process. It will allow for better tracking of labor and building
maintenance costs by connecting to existing enterprise software. Improved project
management features will allow for more efficient management of projects and
planned maintenance. The facilities management software will impact every area of
the Nation.
Public Works has also looked at updating GIS data with drone technology to capture
Orthographic and Lidar images. Orthographic images are like photographs taken of an
object from a single, straight-on perspective, typically front, top, and side views and
communicate the exact dimensions and details of an object. The Lidar images are laser
assisted images that provide precision measurements of the ground (topography),
things in the ground (culverts), and things above the ground (tree canopies).
Combining these images allows us to determine the height, health, and age of our
wooded areas and understand the impact on wildlife in those areas. We can also
determine where stormwater is likely to form, flow, and pool. Which is important to
manage erosion, keep our waters clean free of pollutants, and minimize flood risks.

Public Packet

149 of 189

EXPECTATIONS/FUTURE PLANS REGARDING THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
1. Identify current technology needs and outcomes. (Completed)
2. Coordinate with DTS and stakeholders to validate needs and establish phases and
timelines to implement needed technologies. (Ongoing)
3. Establish implementation plan.
4. Measure outcomes for the various technology changes.

Outcome/Goal # 2
ANALYZING, ENGAGING, AND COMMUNICATING DIVISION BRAND IDENTITY

MEASUREMENT:
1. Customers Relations Improved – The number of customer complaints will be reduced
as customers have a better understanding of services we provide. Metric - Customer
response (Ongoing)
2. More efficient operation – Internal and external customers will work with us as
partners as we increase trust and transparency. Metric - Engagement
ACCOMPLISHMENTS RELATED TO THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
Public Works has updated many of our pages on the Nation’s website. One of the newest
pages is the Energy Team page which has been reorganized to make it easier to find
information important to the reader by using tabs. Now the reader can easily find out about
the Tribal Residential Energy Program, MTERA, or current resolutions with a single click.
Another page that has had major renovations is the Utilities Page. Also using tabs, we have
made it much easier to find the specific service a community member might be looking for.
Members can quickly find information about the Nation’s water quality by choosing Water
Quality Reports. If they want to know about recycling or other waste management events
they can select Harter’s Customers. There is also a resource tab for Septic Customers and
one Utility Customers can select to pay their bills. We have also added many pictures and
illustrations to make the page more appealing to the readers.

Public Packet

150 of 189

EXPECTATIONS/FUTURE PLANS REGARDING THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
1. Add a web page to support Parish Hall Rentals. (Ongoing)
2. Continue to segment information on pages to make it easier for customers to
navigate. (Ongoing)
3. Create an inventory of services and customers of the services. (Ongoing)
4. Communicate the services using appropriate communication channels and
methods. (Ongoing)
5. Provide consistent services and quality of service to all customers. (Ongoing)
6. Promote partnership and teamwork as core values of Public Works. (Ongoing)

Outcome/Goal # 3
ESTABLISHING A WORKFORCE PLAN AND DEVELOPING EMPLOYEES

MEASUREMENT:
1. Positions are filled. Metric: Number of filled vs unfilled positions. (Ongoing)
2. Staff are qualified and can support vacancies. Metric: Development plans are in
place. (Ongoing)
3. Departments will be able to address future needs due to changes and retirements.
Metric: Strategic Plans and Succession Plans are in place. (Ongoing)
4. Staff are engaged and committed to their personal development. Metric: Tie
employee development to their compensation. (Ongoing)

ACCOMPLISHMENTS RELATED TO THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
FY2025 has been challenging with a reduced hiring cap and cost savings measures being
put in place. Public Works has seen a lot of our most senior employees retire. At the
beginning of the year, we had the oldest average age employees but with retirements
have fallen to second place behind Housing. As mentioned in previous reports, we
anticipate seeing Public Works becoming younger through natural attrition as older
employees retire and younger employees are hired.

Public Packet

151 of 189

This impacts our strategies as we plan for succession and design positions to meet future
needs. One example is people have been moving away from college as the cost of higher
education continues to increase. This makes apprenticeship programs, and other on the job
development opportunities more attractive to employment candidates.
Public Work’s already offers full apprenticeship opportunities in the traditional trades such as
electricians and plumbers. We would like to create even more non-traditional
apprenticeships in the future to grow our workforce and create advancement opportunities
as aligned with Oneida’s core values. As a step in that direction, Public Work’s Automotive
department will bring on two high school interns in FY26 to introduce them to automotive
careers.

EXPECTATIONS/FUTURE PLANS REGARDING THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
1. Continue to look at our vision of the future for each area and how Public Works will
prepare for that future.
2. Provide position specific development opportunities including development for
future advancement opportunities.
3. Provide soft skills and leadership development opportunities for all employees that
promote Oneida’s Core values and positive work culture.
4. Provide technical training for new technologies as they are implemented.

Strategy 1 – Operational Excellence
DTS Goal – Improved Information Technology Service Management (ITSM)
MEASUREMENT:
•

Key Performance Indicator (KPI): Increased Effectiveness Scores. N/A to 10.0
o

N/A = Not in Place | Not Effective = 0.0-4.9 | Somewhat Ineffective = 5.0-5.9 |
Somewhat Effective= 6.0-6.9 | Effective=7.0-10.0

•

Baseline: Average Score of 6 processes, 6.61

•

Target: Average Score; 7.0

•

Data Source: ITRG Management and Governance Framework Assessment (*note, based on
COBIT 5 Framework.)

ACCOMPLISHMENTS RELATED TO THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
Metrics: In review of the metrics for this strategy, DTS exceeded the target score of 7.0 and
achieved a 7.18 based on our ITRG Management and Governance assessment. As
mentioned, the ITRG Management & Governance framework assessment was completed
and will be assessed and implemented for FY2026. Implemented DTS Workplace
expectations as part of Core Expectations and the FY2024-2025 Evaluation period. Started
the Digital Technology Steering Committee, starting with project prioritization meetings for
FY26. Logically realigned DTS organizational structure to provide proper leadership for DTS
personnel. Official realignment within HR and Financial realignment will occur when HR and
Finance are ready to make the changes. Data Management workshop was completed to
help set a strategic direction for data which will help to form an AI direction and roadmap.
EXPECTATIONS/FUTURE PLANS REGARDING THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
Develop and update the DTS Strategy documents and communicate out. New metrics will
be provided. Will be working to further mature the technology steering committee to
include additional components such as strategy, budget, and information security
components.

Public Packet

Strategy 2 Organizational Support
DTS Goal – Prudent Financial Stewardship
MEASUREMENT:
•

Key Performance Indicator (KPI): Percentage of projects started with an approved
business case

•

Baseline: 60%

•

Target: 90%

•

Data Source: PPM Tool

ACCOMPLISHMENTS RELATED TO THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
Metrics: DTS did not achieve this metric nor was it measured. The IT PMO is still maturing its
processes and as part of the intake processes this will need to be addressed to ensure
business cases are worked on for new IT projects in conjunction with our customer base.
EXPECTATIONS/FUTURE PLANS REGARDING THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
New strategies, goals, and metrics to be developed in the coming weeks that better align
with the Oneida Nation technology demands and needs. An ERP Strategy and Roadmap
workshop to be scheduled for mid to late January/February to align senior leadership
behind an all-encompassing enterprise resource planning strategy. Next steps for the Tribal
Platforms project include roll out of the new Community Portal and GWA-AP Integration,
January time frame. Project Management Officer (PMO) Team to begin reviewing Project
Portfolio Management (PPM) software to help with project listings, prioritization, project
management process, intake, charter, and more.

03 Innovation & Individual Organizational Support
DTS Goal – Improved communications with business unit technology needs.
MEASUREMENT:
•

Key Performance Indicator (KPI): IT Satisfaction and Value; Net Promoter Scores

•

Baseline: IT Satisfaction - 73%, IT Value - 59%

•

Target: IT Satisfaction - 80%, IT Value - 80%

•

Data Source: CIO Business Vision Survey

Public Packet

156 of 189

ACCOMPLISHMENTS RELATED TO THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
Metrics: DTS did not meet the target objective of 80% for IT Satisfaction and Value. For
Fy2025, IT Satisifaction:76% and IT Value:75%. In assessment of this metric the baseline metrics
were off, they should have been IT Satisfaction: 82% and IT Value: 82% based on the
previous CIO Business Vision assessment conducted on 05/18/2023. With adjusted baseline
metric, it indicates a decline of 6% and 7%. Of note, the current CIO Business Vision
assessment (FY2025) was inclusive of more of the Nation’s business units, senior leaders, and
had a higher respondent rate versus the previous assessment. For this assessment, surveyed
27 areas versus 12 in previous, 87.5% response rate this go round versus 63% in previous
assessment. I believe our FY2025 CIO Business Vision assessment is a better baseline, same
assessment will go out for FY2026. Surveillance for the Nation (S4N):Judicial Building, Oneida
Farm, Three Sisters Park, E/EE Oneida One-Stop, and Transit surveillance system
implementations completed. New Pharmacy system (Liberty) went live and is on a new
system. Improved communications with Oneida Retail Enterprise. Had meetings with ORE
CEO to better understand ORE technology needs and begin a next steps prioritization
listing. Communications towers are built and undergoing testing and pilot with select users
before official marketing campaign by Nsight begins.
EXPECTATIONS/FUTURE PLANS REGARDING THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
Based on the updated CIO Business Vision survey, DTS will establish updated metrics to
achieve and incorporate into an updated DTS strategy. Working on completion of an
operational agreement with Nsight for fiber to the home project. AI strategy/roadmap
workshop scheduled for December 2025. Continue working with ORE to help improve
processes that have technology components specifically inventory and loyalty app,
Paytronix.

Child Care
Head Start/Early Head Start

MEASUREMENT:
Child Care
Number of staff training “interactions” in the area of Teaching Strategies Gold curriculum
implementation.
Head Start
All Head Start/Early Head Start children’s progress are tracked in an early education
teaching database. Classrooms use Teaching Strategies Gold and Childplus software to
track classroom and parental interactions.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS RELATED TO THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
Child Care
Tanya Skenandore from Head Start has been coming over during the recent months
offering individualized support/lessons to employees. August 18 – 20 and September 26,
instruction from Teaching Strategies took place, plus structured literacy instruction from
CESA 7.

Public Packet

161 of 189

Head Start

We have started to collect students developmental progress and are evaluating the
patterns each students show to collect the child’s developmental data needed.
Attendance is a factor of focus this school year as we seek to have an average daily
attendance of Head Start and Early Head Start students over the target goal of 90%
adequately.

EHS has a full classroom of 8 students to start the new school year. EHS provides services
year around and in the graph shows the attendance for each summer month. Thus far, the
school year average attendance is 93%, which is a good start and over our 90% goal.

Public Packet

162 of 189

EHS home visiting program delivered 118 home visits during the fourth quarter to 39 student
and families and provided 16 group socialization experiences. Services slowed down during
the summer months.
EXPECTATIONS/FUTURE PLANS REGARDING THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
Child Care
Child Care employees will develop the ability to implement both digital and physical
curriculum for the children.
Head Start
Head Start/Early Head Start will work with our Education T & TA Specialist to continue training
in literacy, math and cognitive domains. Collaboration with Oneida Behavioral Health will
continue for the social-emotional domain. Attendance will also be monitored as there is a
high parallel with families to try to get our students to school as much as possible.

Outcome/Goal # 2
Implement Individual Education Plans (IEP’s) for children with educational disabilities.
Programs Working on Outcome:
•

Early Intervention
Head Start/Early Head Start

MEASUREMENT:
Early Intervention
97% of preschoolers who complete Head Start and FACE make successful IEP transitions to
Tribal or Public Special Education Programs.
Head Start/Early Head Start

Public Packet

163 of 189

During the fourth quarter Head Start had zero referrals for Early Interventions or Behavioral
Health. To close the school year, we had 8 students on IEPs at Three Sisters and 13 students
on IEPS at NHC. All these children are receiving speech and/or language services. 5% also
receive OT, 1% also receive EC.
For the fourth quarter, EHS has 1 child that was on IFSP with Brown County Birth to 3, one
child is on IFSP working with Oneida Early Intervention Birth to 3, and 4 children in the referral
process.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS RELATED TO THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
Early Intervention
Students entering kindergarten this year had all their files sent out to their schools as
requested. Currently the children who completed Head Start, FACE, Child Care or
community therapy are having their files sent to their respective schools as either the
parent/guardian or school request IEPs for the 2025-26 school year.
Head Start/Early Head Start
HS/EHS continues to work collaboratively with Oneida Early Intervention to refer children
with suspected educational delays/disabilities for evaluation. Working collaboratively with
Oneida Behavioral Health for consulting purposes.
EXPECTATIONS/FUTURE PLANS REGARDING THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
Early Intervention
In May 2026 Early Intervention will contact parent/guardians to find out where to send
student files for kindergarten students. This should be completed by June 15, 2026. This will
improve outcomes for Special Education students as the receiving school will have time to
complete all paperwork requirements and implement IEP changes if necessary.
Head Start/Early Head Start
Oneida Early Intervention will continue to provide speech, occupational and physical
therapy services to enrolled HS/EHS students with delays/disabilities or they will refer them
out to local school districts if the needs of the child exceed what they can offer. Continued
identification and assessment of children suspected of having delays or disabilities will
occur. HS/EHS staff will individualize lesson planning for student on an IEP/IFSP. Oneida
Behavioral Health will make it a priority to come into the classrooms weekly for student
observations and behavioral assessing.

Outcome/Goal # 3
Student eligible for Youth Enrichment Services (Y.E.S.) in elementary, middle, and high
school are on track to graduate and Higher Education will provide financial assistance to

Eleven students were funded for the College Comeback Program during 4th quarter totaling
$25,593.
EXPECTATIONS/FUTURE PLANS REGARDING THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
Youth Enrichment Services
The YES staff are in the process of identifying which students need assistance, arranging for
Social Services Groups where needed and reaching out to Language Revitalization for
Oneida Language groups. Staff are also establishing schedules for before/after-school
academic support. In collaboration with Language Revitalization, Seymour Middle and High
School will have an after-school Oneida Language Club and Oneida Language will also be
offered at Seymour’s Rock Ledge Elementary School. YES staff collaborated with the
Recreation Department’s County H staff to provide academic support, twice a week, to
students participating in their after-school homework help sessions. The Specialist from West
De Pere Middle School will be providing after-school academic assistance at Lombardi
Middle School because the Lombardi Middle School Specialist position is vacant. The new
YES Specialists and two of the YES Advocates will be participating in the next cohort of LETRS
training, with training starting in October.
Higher Education
The Higher Education Department will continue to promote the importance and
achievability of higher education by visiting area high schools and offering community
events such as college fairs and financial aid workshops.

We hope to continue offing the College Comeback option to help students get back in
good standing with the Higher Education Grant and move forward with their educational
goals.

Outcome/Goal # 4
Provide culturally sensitive vocational rehabilitation services to Native Americans with
disabilities who reside on or near the Oneida Reservation leading to gainful employment
consistent with the strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, capabilities, interests,
and informed choice to building individual self-sufficiency.
Program Working on Outcome:
•

Vocational Rehabilitation Services

MEASUREMENT:
This fiscal year our goals was to receive 50 applications and have 20 participants gain
employment.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS RELATED TO THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
Eligibility Determinations: of the 99 applications, 67 individuals were determined eligible for
services. Successful outcomes: Among those served, 20 participants achieved successful
employment outcomes, meeting our target of 20.
EXPECTATIONS/FUTURE PLANS REGARDING THE OUTCOME/GOAL:
Once Oneida Vocational Rehabilitation Services is officially integrated into the ONESS 477
program, we anticipate a significant increase in both applications and successful
outcomes. This growth is expected due to each case manager gaining direct access to a
full range of economic support services, allowing for more comprehensive and coordinated
service delivery to individuals with disabilities.
