A busy summer is ahead for the Regional Office of Education #33. After all the unknowns over the past two years through the pandemic within the local school districts, different opportunities for students were discovered as many worked together to achieve the goal of learning. Looking to the next school year this fall, Assistant Regional Superintendent Lori Loving says one grant the ROE received to assist schools is the Community Partnership Grant:
“One of the grants that we received through the State Board of Education is called a Community Partnership Grant. It is about bringing in community partners around behavioral health and our school districts being in the center of the circle for those community partnerships and having deep conversations about what services are available to students and families and what are the gaps and how do we best support kids so they can be in school every day.”
The Regional Office of Education #33 serves district in Henderson, Knox, Mercer, and Warren Counties.
