The Lowndes County School District's Federal Programs Department served as the host for the Student Resource Network Meeting: "Schools + Community: Resource Connections" on Tuesday morning at the Central Office in Columbus.
The event featured more than 60 school counselors from the LCSD, the Columbus Municipal School District and private schools, administrators and resource agencies from Lowndes County.
The meeting enabled resource agencies to connect and collaborate with school counselors and administrators and gave them an opportunity to highlight the services their agencies provide to students and families in the community.
During the meeting, agencies introduced their organization and the services they provide, shared information about the students and families they serve, explained their agency’s referral process and how schools can connect students and families to their services, built relationships with school counselors, administrators and other community partners and identified opportunities for stronger collaboration and coordinated support for students and families.
Thank you to Christina Shumpert, the LCSD's homeless liaison; Dr. Kimberly McKinney, the LCSD's assistant director of Federal Programs; and Dr. Kristie Jones, the LCSD's Federal Programs director, for your efforts in organizing the event.
