What is a Family Resource Center (FRC)?
Family Resource Centers (FRCs) were created as part of the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA) with the intent of enhancing students' ability to succeed in school by assisting children and their families to meet needs that have an impact on the education process. This assistance is offered at the FRC, in the schools, and by linking families to agencies in the community. The MWES FRC began in 2007.

What Services Does the FRC Provide?
The MWES FRC provides a variety of services, including the following:

• Workshops (on a wide variety of topics)

• Parent Contacts

• Resource Library (books, videos, and pamphlets)

• Information / referrals to community agencies

• Assistance and referrals to obtain basic needs (e.g., clothing, food, school supplies)

Who Can Use the FRC Services?
All services accessible through the MWES FRC are available to all students attending MWES, their families, and anyone living in the community surrounding MWES -- all regardless of family income.
