Bringing the school districts, children, and families together, the Regional Office of Education #33 continues to focus on school attendance and has recently restructured a Student and Family Engagement Department to ensure consistency of offered services across the region, says Superintendent Jodi Scott:
“We are working with our school attendance folks, our behavioral health folks together, as well as our after-school programming folks. We really wanted to weave those programs together so that our services across the region can be consistent and not done in silos. We worked really hard to develop parent programs, worked with our after-school programs to weave the opportunities for parents to come into those after school programs, as well as our school attendance folks doing more with families to look at the barriers for students getting to school and how we can support them and work with other local agencies to eliminate the barriers and get students into school.”
The Regional Office of Education #33 serves the local schools and communities in Henderson, Knox, Mercer, and Warren Counties.
