#SESCCOP #SERVINGYOU

🚍✨ First stop on our Systems Without Silos Tour — Pulaski County this week! ✨🚍
Pulaski’s School Leadership Teams, FRYSC Coordinators, Social Workers, School Psychologists, and Mental Health Agency Clinicians came together with ACCESS Consultants Lauren McQueary and Dr. Holly Hibbard to strengthen their already robust MTSS systems by integrating mental health supports through the Interconnected Systems Framework (ISF).
👏 Pulaski is paving the way in breaking down silos and building a unified approach to supporting the whole child. Their collaborative efforts and commitment to aligning academic, behavior, and mental health systems are setting a powerful example of what’s possible when we work together.
🔊 Want to hop on the Tour?
You can attend an upcoming Systems Without Silos training at one of our sub-regional locations in Madison County or Pulaski County, or invite us to bring a district-wide training directly to your teams!
📄 See flyers below for details.


Let’s work together to create systems that serve students, staff, and families in meaningful, sustainable ways. 💪🌟

🌟 What a fantastic day of learning! 🌟
Our Unlocking MSD Teacher-Paraeducator Teams training was a huge success! Led by Annie Conner from SESC SERTAC, participants explored strategies for building strong teacher-paraeducator partnerships that set MSD classrooms up for success.

A big thank you to Heather Alger from the Kentucky Autism Training Center for her valuable support in making this session impactful! 🙌

We loved seeing teachers and paraeducators work side by side to strengthen communication, clarify roles, and create thriving learning environments for their students.
