August 8, 200917 yr In the FIVCO area, North-Eastern Kentucky, the money does follow the student. All the schools have open enrollment, and all of the schools release the ADA money. Would you be for such a thing? That would be pretty much the same as a voucher system. But again, you are eliminating private schools in the decision process where vouchers would INCLUDE private schools. I am for including ALL. But I don't think that is accurate. There was a case 4-5 years ago that one of the independent town school systems were NOT releasing the money to the county school system and the county school system had to decide if they were going to accept the students with no funds to pay for educating those students.

All the schools in the FIVCO area do have open enrollment, and all the schools in the FIVCO area do release the ADA money to the school that the student is attending.
August 8, 200917 yr What's not accurate? All the schools in the FIVCO area do have open enrollment, and all the schools in the FIVCO area do release the ADA money to the school that the student is attending. Did you read the sentences after the not accurate? Maybe it has changed since 4-5 years ago or maybe I have no clue what FIVCO is and it was a school district outside of that area, but there was a city school district and county school district fighting over ADA money and the city WOULD NOT release it. AND back to the point that vouchers include private schools and open enrollment does not. So, your point is not valid based on that last sentence. Open enrollment and Vouchers are not the same thing.
August 8, 200917 yr What's not accurate? All the schools in the FIVCO area do have open enrollment, and all the schools in the FIVCO area do release the ADA money to the school that the student is attending. Unless it is a private school or a school OUTSIDE the FIVCO area???
August 8, 200917 yr The FIVCO area is the five county area that most consider North-Eastern Kentucky. But, none the less.......... Good luck with your quest.
August 8, 200917 yr The FIVCO area is the five county area that most consider North-Eastern Kentucky. But, none the less.......... Good luck with your quest. So, can they use the funds for private schools as they could with vouchers?
August 8, 200917 yr The FIVCO area is the five county area that most consider North-Eastern Kentucky. But, none the less.......... Good luck with your quest. So, I am guessing, Lewis, Fleming, Rowan, Greenup and have no guess for the other one.
August 9, 200917 yr So, can they use the funds for private schools as they could with vouchers? No. So, I am guessing, Lewis, Fleming, Rowan, Greenup and have no guess for the other one. Greenup County, Boyd County, Carter County, Lawrence County, and Elliott County. FIVCO is a corporation that over sees the health departments in the area and has funds for other stuff, that is where the name comes from. by being part of the FIVCO organization all those schools have agreed to open enrollment with ADA money to follow the student. Other counties that are considered North-Eastern Kentucky but are not part of the FIVCO organization are Lewis County, Rowan County, and Morgan County.

Thanks for the information, I learned something today. Do the school districts benefit by having the nurses of the health departments serve as the school nurses and the district does not have to hire school nurses. I ask because my district is moving this year where we did not hire school nurses but are contracting through the health department for their services. It also seems that the young ladies where were the school nurses last year will be the nurses that will be contracted to the schools from the health department. At least that is how I understand it but I am not overly knowledgeable of it either.

No. King's Daughters Medical Center used to provide school nurses for the FIVCO region, but did away with the program several years ago. Now, the schools have to hire their own nurses, several do not have school nurses now.
August 9, 200917 yr This would be one major area that open enrollment and vouchers would differ. Agreed, we just don't have a private school in the area, other then Rose Hill, and it's not that big of a deal to most in the area. I could see it as a big deal in an urban setting, or a setting where there are multiple private schools, or big private schools, but there are not enough students at Rose Hill to consider it a problem in my book. Some may feel differently.
