Publisher's Synopsis
Local Social Services Boards in North Carolina provides social services board members with the information that they need to understand their roles and legal responsibilities within North Carolina's social services system. It may also be a useful reference for county social services directors, social services attorneys, county commissioners, county managers, and county attorneys. Among other topics, this book includes an overview of the laws governing the work of social services boards, the powers and duties of a county board of social services, the services and programs offered by county social services agencies, and the role of the county director of social services.
This book, which revises, updates, and expands John L. Saxon's Handbook for County Social Services Boards, is the first in a three-part series from the School of Government that will also include books for local boards of health and consolidated human services boards.
