At the beginning of last month, the School Psychologists of Duval County including Freda Reid and Susan Hatcher presented a check for $1200 to Gloria Lockley, director of alternative education and Tanya Watts of the Teen Parent Service Center of Duval County Public Schools.
The money was raised through the 2010-2011 School Psychologists’ Service Project from the pre-kindergarten disabilities office, the school board building staff and EE/SS support team offices throughout the district to support the needs of the teen parents in our district for much needed supplies such as diapers and formula. The contributions were matched dollar for dollar by the professional organization, the Florida Association of School Psychologists.
The Teen Parent Service Center provides the coordination of all ancillary services such as child care, health care, social services and transportation to ensure that teenage parents remain in school, earn a high school diploma and become self-sufficient. The program is available to teen parents attending any Duval County public schools.
