County highlights ACE student program, vendor fair and school partnerships with Senator King
Summary
Floyd County staff reported a new ACE student engagement cycle, a community service vendor fair next Wednesday with six confirmed vendors, Senator King's presentation at a school event, and that the ACE program leadership is transitioning to Jenny with Sydney assisting.
Floyd County staff briefed the board on local student engagement and partnerships, reporting the ACE program has resumed outreach and that a community service vendor fair is scheduled for next Wednesday to connect students with volunteer organizations.
The administrator said the county held an ACE meeting with students and that "Jenny's going to present the next" cycle; staff confirmed six vendors for the upcoming community service fair and emphasized that vendors must be on an approved list. The administrator encouraged students to sign up by April 15, warning that failure to enroll now could prevent participation in later years.
Staff provided attendance figures from recent events: roughly 12 students attended one session, about 43 attended a luncheon, and last year the ACE program received about 23 student applications per term. The administrator said the program leadership is shifting to Jenny, with Sydney assisting, and praised prior efforts by staff and the board in launching the program.
The board did not take formal action; staff framed the discussion as a program update and invitation for community organizations to participate in the vendor fair.
