School Partnerships
We work to help school-aged children succeed in their education
and thrive in life. To accomplish this, we support public education,
local families and the children themselves. Currently we're directing
our efforts towards:
- School Age Council: Started in Spring 2004,
this committee advises the CCFC Board and other stakeholders about
polices and planning initiatives for school age children and youth.
The committee also engages the community to strengthen support
systems for school age children and youth.
- School Age Policy Framework: We helped develop
this framework which will guide the County's involvement in services
for school-aged children/youth and their families. An implementation
plan is currently being developed under the leadership of the
Department
of School and Community Partnerships (OSCP).
- Connecting for Kids Third Grade Reading Initiative:
In partnership with the Leaders Roundtable, we're recruiting volunteers
and helping in other ways to increase third grade reading proficiency.
