TDOE Vision Statement
Tennessee Family Resource Centers unlock potential by serving as a resource and support hub. FRCs proactively engage with their communities to empower students and families, bridging gaps to ensure they evolve together through connected systems of support unique to each community.
History
In 1993, school-based Family Resource Centers were developed as specified in T.C.A. § 49-2-115 to address the potential risk factors within the home and community environments which impede or create barriers to a child’s ability to learn and grow successfully. Potential risk factors include but are not limited to poverty, hunger, homelessness, abuse, neglect, poor health, mental illness, substance abuse and/or family conflict. Family Resource Centers network with community organizations to coordinate problem-solving and goal-setting processes with parents while assisting them to create a supportive environment and meet the needs of their children.
