Since it was established, KECSAC has significantly improved services to the
historically under served population of at-risk youth in Kentucky. Among these
important improvements are the following:
Greatly enhanced coordination and the simplification of the distribution of
funds to serve at-risk youth.
The establishment of a statewide monitoring process designed to support
programs in their efforts to serve the needs of Kentucky’s at-risk youth.
The establishment of a statewide interagency advisory group, which functions
as a viable vehicle for enhanced collaboration and service delivery.
The establishment of statewide administrative regulations and procedures
designed to enable districts and programs to better serve their at-risk
populations.
The ongoing development of a mechanism for technical support and consultation
to practitioners and public officials.
The establishment of a Statewide calendar of professional development
workshops and conferences to increase the skill of those who serve at-risk
youth.
The establishment of greater collaboration and cooperation among the various
agencies that serve at-risk youth.
KECSAC currently works with 53 school districts, some 105 programs, and four
State agencies to enhance the delivery of education services to at-risk and
delinquent youth in residential and day treatment programs. The needs of SAC
are varied and complex and will continue to require the collaborative resources
and expertise of a broad range of professionals. KECSAC staff remains committed
to helping provide SAC with high quality educational services.
