The Family Community Resource Center determines Mrs. A had a valid reason. Another scheduled meeting is set for Mrs. A. Mrs. A does not show up for the 2nd scheduled meeting and reports she had no transportation available. The Family Community Resource Center determines Mrs. A had a valid reason. Another meeting is scheduled for Mrs. A.
