Lag Measure 2: Children who Re-enter Care in a 12-month Period of Exiting to Permanency
Why is the lag baseline measure important? Children and youth who exit foster care to a stable placement should remain in that situation without disruption when appropriate services and supports are provided. The federal standard is 5.6%. National performance fluctuations over the period are represented in the national reentry line in the graph. What is significant about this graph? The NCANDS and AFCARS data during the five-year look-back period indicate that Kentucky remains above the federal standard of 5.6% and above the national performance rate depicted in the red line.
