​Model Interagency Agreement Published

Senate Bill 2 (2024) required the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) to collaborate with the Center for School Safety to develop model interagency agreements between local school districts and other local public agencies to provide cooperative services and sharing of costs for services to students who are at risk of academic failure, at risk of mental health crises, at risk participation in juvenile crime, or who are expelled from the school district. The KDE has completed this work, and the model interagency agreement​ is available for use. For questions related to the agreement, please contact Christina Weeter at christina.weeter@education.ky.gov​.
