2019 Every Child Counts Symposium

In its third year of implementation, Tulare County located in rural Central California, has developed a partnership amongst educational systems, social services, mental health, probation and juvenile court system, and court appointed child advocates, to best work in collaboration to ensure services are being delivered to all students in need. This presentation will be a panel format, where county representatives will briefly speak to their specific departments and share the capacity in which they work with other partners at the table. Some specific cases will be shared as examples of obstacles faced and how to navigate through them by the partnerships of panelists and the additional support of Community Based Organizations and alternative Children’s Mental Health providers as options. With the main focus of positive graduate outcomes as well as maintaining LEA target growth, the team will share their vision and promotion of students reaching independent success, one learner at a time. There will be opportunities for Q & A at the end for participants.
