Family Resource and Youth Services Centers (FRYSCs) were created as an important part of the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA). The goal of King’s Family Resource Center (FRC) is to enhance students’ abilities to succeed. We believe that a child’s success in school can be enhanced by providing support to the family. This is done by linking families with community agencies and resources that will enrich the lives of students and parents in our community.

FRCs are designed to help remove barriers to student learning. Each center assists students and families through programs, through referrals to outside agencies, and by partnering with groups within and outside of the school. Programs and services are determined by the needs of the population served, available resources, location, and other local characteristics. The centers work with families to improve students’ attendance, to decrease problems with behavior or suspensions, to offer academic support, to deal with mental/physical health issues, and to offer parent support and assistance. All students and families are served regardless of income.
