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 Kennedy Montessori 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.
