The Southern Ohio Educational Service Center has secured an extension of grant funding to support the needs of vulnerable youth in the school districts within its member consortium. SOESC procured a $220,833 Family and Community Partnership Liaison Grant from the Ohio Department of Education for the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years to fund the Family and Community Partnership Liaison program working to provide community resources to support children in need. The Southern Ohio ESC received funds to create a position in the 2020-2021 school year to help school districts, families, and caregivers facing increased needs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Kristan Cover, Family and Community Partnership Liaison with the Southern Ohio ESC, is working to build a network of community resources, partners, and support services for vulnerable youth and families.
