Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Kelci Webb FRANKFORT, KY (Date, 2016) - In an effort to recognize the work of educators and programs that serve students with a variety of learning needs, the Kentucky Board of Education honored 10 Alternative Programs of Distinction at its regular June meeting in Frankfort. An alternative education program exists to meet the needs of students that are unable to be addressed in a traditional classroom setting. These programs seek to improve student behavior or provide an enhanced learning experience for students. The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) review team completed an extensive on-site visit at the Adair Youth Development Center to determine eligibility for this prestigious award, and after the review was completed the Center was deemed as an exemplary program deserving of the award. The program received $2,000 from KDE for instructional support and Interim Commissioner of Education, Wayne D. Lewis, presented the Program's Lead Instructor, Wes Irvin, with a certificate honoring the Adair Youth Development Center for its success. "We are extremely proud of the facility and educational staff at Adair Youth Development Center for being designated as an Alternative Program of Distinction. The Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice strives to be an agency that provides the highest quality of care and services to the Commonwealth's justice-involved youth. Among those services is education and it is amazing to see stakeholders from various agencies and departments come together to ensure our youth are given a second chance in the classroom setting," Deputy Commissioner of Program Services, Kris Mann, said, "DJJ committed youth are some of the state's most at-risk youth and research has shown that a quality education plays a major role in their future success. It is a blessing to see that the staff members at Adair Youth Development Center have not settled for mediocrity when it comes to educational service provided for our children." The Kentucky Department of Education began highlighting exemplary practices in public school alternative programs in 2009. Alternative programs include school district-operated and district-housed instructional programs that provide services to students with a variety of unique needs. They also can be district-operated instructional programs that are located in non-district facilities or schools and serve youth who are considered state agency children. Information on the schools also will be posted on the Kentucky Department of Education website so other schools can use the awarded programs as models. This story was posted on 2018-06-11 15:58:08
