Text: On June 9, 2000, the Appellant filed a written motion for a post-adjudicatory improvement period. The Appellant asserted that she would fully participate in an improvement period and requested a family case plan, in accordance with West Virginia Code 49-6D-3 (1998) (Repl.Vol.2001). On June 14, 2000, Mr. Propst provided a child youth and family case plan recommending reunification of the family as the permanency plan, [10] with an estimated achievement date of December 12, 2000. There is no indication in the plan, as filed, regarding whether it was preceded by the convening of a multi-disciplinary treatment team, as required by Rule 51 of the West Virginia Rules of Procedure For Child Abuse and Neglect Proceedings, nor does the record contain any order of the court convening such a team. The plan identified desired outcomes for the Appellant as follows: problem solving, self-sufficiency, parenting knowledge/skill, and learning the importance of scheduling and being in charge of every day life. Weekly visits by the Paul Miller Home-Based Services were recommended. [11]
