SEEDS is a county-wide program, that serves families who have children ages three through the third grade. Primary reasons for referral include ensuring readiness for school and/or a child experiencing academic challenges. Every elementary school in the district has access to SEEDS services. SEEDS serves schools through collaborative teams that support learning, which are flexible, individualized, child-centered, family focused, and culturally competent. Services include case management, family support, school readiness experiences, linkages with school and community resources, and group events and activities.

The Supervisor of School Social Work Services serves on the SEEDS Collaborative Council as the district representative for the development and implementation of these services with families and other community providers.  This is a retroactive agreement for the 2014/15 school year with explanations about the delay included with these materials.
