What is the Family Resource Center (FRC)
The FRC was created as part of the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA) to provide information and/or referrals to families in the Rangeland Elementary School community. Because there may be many barriers to a child's success in school, the center works to ensure that needed resources and support are made available in order to remove any obstacles. The center aims to work with parents, community partners and other stakeholders to enhance the lives and educational experiences of our students. By working together we strive to replace educational barriers with bridges of opportunity and success.
Who may use the FRC?
The Rangeland FRC serves all children, parents, and families in our community.
Who operates the FRC?
The center is operated by a full-time coordinator. An Advisory Council made up of parents, community members, and school staff also provides guidance in decisions concerning the center.
