Audit context

What the response says and how it was assessed

Response says

County partially disagrees, describing DMH merit-based recruitment, cultural-needs documentation and training. Response does not resolve demographic disproportions or comprehensively address DCFS workers and resource families.

Audit analysis

Partial disagreement is explicit, but disputed portions of compound finding are not clearly mapped. DMH-specific reasons are concrete and cite Civil Service Rules, CLAS standards and Medi-Cal requirements; demographic and non-DMH propositions remain unexplained. Report physical PDF page(s) 133; County response physical PDF page(s) 19. Claims remain attributed; adoption date is not a filing or receipt date.
