FO R STATE AGENCY CHILDREN

DEAR PARTICIPANTS,As Director of the Kentucky Educational Collaborative for State Agency Children, it is my sincere pleasure to welcome you to the 14th annual Alternative Strategies for Educating Students At-Risk Conference!

Our community partners, including the Kentucky Departments of Education; Juvenile Justice; Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities; and Community Based Services in collaboration with school district personnel and other local educational leaders are pleased to join me in this welcome.

Alternative educators from across the Commonwealth are coming together on the campus of Eastern Kentucky University to address educational services for our most at-risk student populations. Through our collaborative efforts, our children are receiving much attention from our state and local policy makers. Your participation in this conference illustrates the value our teachers and administrators, who have chosen a life of service to our kids, have placed on this important population. We continue to commend you for your dedication and service while encouraging you to continue working for the welfare of our students.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the state agencies and their leadership who provide care for our students. This year we are fortunate to be joined by the commissioners of two vital agencies who collaborate to do this important work. Their participation in this conference highlights the value they place on all of Kentucky’s children. Special thanks to:

Commissioner Teresa James, Department for Community Based Services Commissioner Bob Hayter, Department of Juvenile Justice

Our conference agenda is packed with exciting opportunities and has attracted participants from every facet of our students’ lives, as well as phenomenal speakers including Dr. Diane Heacox and Dr. Debra Peppers, both of whom will share their experience and philosophy on educating at-risk students. Speakers representing alternative education agencies, government policy makers, as well as academic scholars and researchers will present and discuss the current topics in alternative education, focusing on strategies, experiences and techniques for positive development.

This conference is an excellent opportunity for you to meet with other educators, share your experience in working with at-risk youth, and create an opportunity for networking, collaborating, sharing of technical information, and building trusting relationships. As always, we extend a warm welcome to all of our colleagues who share our interest in providing a quality, equitable education for all of Kentucky’s children.

KECSAC would like to thank the conference planning committee, whose participants contributed their time and great ideas to make this conference possible! The Committee was composed of representatives from:

Kentucky Department of Education KECSAC Funded Programs KentuckyDepartmentofJuvenileJustice KECSACCentralOfficeStaff Kentucky Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities

I look forward to meeting you during the conference and hope you will take a few moments to introduce yourself to those who are equally committed to our at-risk student population in Kentucky.

Sincerely,
