2. expand the efforts into related areas of the child welfare system;
3. work with the commissioner of human services and community partners to establish and evaluate child protection grants to address disparities in child welfare pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 256E.28;
4. identify additional areas within the child welfare system that need to be addressed by the legislature.
