Our Mission : Family Resource and Youth Services Centers (FRYSC) were established as a result of the passage of the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA) in 1990. The primary goal of our Centers is to remove barriers to learning. Centers assist students and families through various programs, referrals to outside agencies, and by partnering with groups within and outside of our school.
