- c. August 29, 2006: In cooperation with the judiciary, GAL Board agrees to court request for a July 1, 2007 date for assuming responsibilities regarding GAL training and oversight, subject to final approval of administrative rules by that date. To this end, Board arranges to:
- Reserve space for Fall GAL training for court-certified GALs;
- Lengthen Board meetings, as necessary, to speed up certification approval process, to ensure no interruption in ongoing cases handled by court-appointed GALs not currently certified by the Board.
- c. August 21, 2006: Administrative Office of the Courts sets July 1, 2007 as date after which only Board-certified GALs will be appointed. Current court-certified GALs who have not taken the training necessary to be certified by the Board will have an opportunity to take training in the Fall. [Note: To be certified by the Board, one must meet Board requirements, including by taking General GAL Training and at least one Area-Specific Training, and must go through the Board’s application process.
