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. KECSAC Logo

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.
