The Central Kentucky Community Action Council this week recognized support from Hardin County Schools to allow the Radcliff Head Start Center to remain in operation.
The CKCAC Head Start team hosted a celebration on Monday honoring HCS for the swift action the district took after extreme winter weather caused extensive damage to the Radcliff Head Start Center. The district made two classrooms at Radcliff Elementary School available to head start, allowing those students to continue their education without major interruption.
“Our partnership with the Central Kentucky Head Start is strong and we are truly honored to host them for the rest of this school year,” said HCS Superintendent Terrie Morgan. “The Radcliff Elementary School classrooms will provide a safe and wonderful environment for our Head Start students and staff to learn and play and grow together.”
The CKCAC says the ceremony was a chance to thank HCS and recognize the importance of inter-agency cooperation in keeping education accessible for all children.
“This partnership is a testament to what can be achieved when local leaders put families first,” said CKCAC Head Start Director Jennifer Akin. “The immediate response from Superintendent Morgan and Principal Mahone eliminated the hardships our families would have faced if we were forced to relocate outside of Radcliff. This celebration is a small token of our immense gratitude for their leadership during a challenging time.”
The bid process for necessary repairs for the Radcliff Head Start Center is under way. A construction timeline for the repairs has not yet been determined.
