In 2017-18, we developed a collaborative, coordinated facility for service delivery with two additional entities -
EasterSeals and The Mason/Tazewell/Woodford Regional Office of Education (ROE #53).   

Using the former Germantown Hills Elementary Building on Fandel Road, we were able to start a Public Day Program for students with significant social/emotional/behavioral needs. This is known as Black Partridge Public Day School.   Easter Seals launched the ESLA (Easter Seals Learning Academy), a private day facility for students with significant developmental delays such as Autism and other life-long developmental disabilities. The ROE 53 moved their Regional Safe School and Academy programs to the facility, as well.  Each entity has their own wing, yet collaborates with many resources.

Black Partridge Public Day School - Focuses on stabilizing social emotional skills.  Many of our student have concurrent mental health diagnosis and our staff consult with medical teams.  The primary focus is on Social Emotional Learning, with academics being a secondary focus. Student have access to service learning projects, remote learning, and developing life skills including jobs.  A social worker is on site daily. There are many alternative enviornments to address emotions and behaviors within our building. Black Partridge is fully staffed by WCSEA. Placements are made based on a very thorough application and review process for students with IEP's living in Woodford County.

Instruction is centered on evidence based practices and the curriculum is aligned to state learning standards.  All of the programs and services provided emphasize an individualized approach to education that meets state and federal mandates with the goal of preparing students to transition back to their schools and communities, and lead successful lives.
