Blue-ribbon panel presents plan for overhauling Texas' foster care system

AUSTIN – Texas would pay for performance in foster care and cede more authority to private contractors under a major overhaul recommended by a blue-ribbon panel. The proposal, in the works for a year, calls for the state to scrap its current system allowing anyone to start a private child-placing agency and ask to care for abused and neglected children. That would be replaced with a new arrangement in which one outfit becomes the lead provider in a region.
