A: No, the California Department of Education (CDE) and Foster Focus serve different purposes. The CDE interface available in CWS-CARES V1 will not replace Foster Focus. Foster Focus is expected to continue operating after CWS-CARES Go-Live. Additionally, the Sacramento County Office of Education is leading the work on updating Foster Focus to accept new CWS-CARES Version 1 data. The CDE Interface will provide updated school (resource) data elements within CWS-CARES, similar to what is currently in CWS/CMS. This information will not include child specific school or grade level information.
