The Family Ties Resource Center and Youth Services Center have once again partnered to offer the Ready Fair for all Carroll County students. The event will be Thursday, July 23 from 3-6 p.m. in the Carroll County High School gym.
Attendees can get a free backpack as well as important resources about healthcare, dental care, child care, grandparents caring for grandchildren and children's immunizations. Free hot dogs, chips, water and ice cream will be served. More information is available on the Family Ties Resource Center Facebook page.
Our CCMS custodial team is deep cleaning the building, teachers are getting classrooms ready for a new year of learning, and our maintenance staff is busy making improvements throughout the school. Every project completed this summer helps create a safe, welcoming environment for students and staff.
We appreciate all the work our staff do behind the scenes to get our buildings ready for staff and students to return. Staff members will return on Monday, Aug. 10 while students' first day of school is Wednesday, Aug. 12.
According to the KHSAA, during this two-week period, student-athletes may not receive coaching or training from school personnel, and schools cannot hold practices, workouts, camps, open gyms, conditioning sessions, or other team activities. School athletic facilities, equipment, uniforms, transportation, and funds also cannot be used for KHSAA-sanctioned sports during the dead period.
The annual break was established to give student athletes, coaches, administrators, and families time away from the demands of school sports while helping prevent year-round athletic participation.
The wonderful staff at the Carroll County Youth Services Center and Family Ties Service Center are available to help families throughout the summer, not just during the school year.
The Youth Services Center, which is located at Carroll County High School, can assist with in-school and community resources. “We can get families signed up for our in-school resources, such as Backpack Buddies, and if families are in need of emergency assistance, we can help them get connected with those community resources for food, clothing, finances, transportation, family resources, etc.,” said YSC Coordinator Sydney Ball. The center also offers assistance with college and career applications.
The Family Ties Service Center, which has an office at Cartmell and Kathryn Winn, is also staffed during the summer from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. “We can help with signing families up for services or, if they need help finding services in our community, we can direct them or contact services for them,” said Family Ties Coordinator Aayme Kindoll. She is also able to help with emergency food assistance and signing children up for school.
Ball, Kindoll, CCMS Youth Services Coordinator Sharonia Barr and Amanda New, Director of Federal Programs and Families in Transition Coordinator, are pictured collecting items students identified they would need during the summer.
“The FRYSC team surveyed our students and a lot said they needed basics like underwear, shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste,” New said. The team filled backpacks that were handed out before the school year ended. Students received food packs, shampoo, a blanket, educational books, toothpaste, toothbrush, soaps and washrags.
New said Title 1 money, which is specified for very unique purposes, was used for the project. She learned about the idea at a conference she attended last school year and hopes to continue it throughout the future. “We’re trying to keep the family in mind and I would like to keep building on this,” she added.

Livingood has worked with Carroll County Schools on multiple occasions from 2017 through 2019, including as interim superintendent and interim principal of CCHS and the Carroll County ATC.
“I adopted a whole new family down here,” Livingood said. "I think I’ve always gotten a bigger blessing being in Carroll County than any good I may have done.” Livingood, who retired as Grant County Schools superintendent in 2016, said he isn’t typically looking for a job, but “if the Lord sends an assignment my way I always try and do my best to help in a situation that a little bit of help might be needed.”
He will meet with the board at its June 25 meeting. Livingood said he wants to hear the board’s priorities and determine what they need from him. “I need to sit down and listen to the board and determine what needs they perceive. They’re the community so I’ll get a feel from them on what are some important things to do,” he added.
“I think the people in Carroll County are really good. I owe them my best effort until things get rolling and they’re able to get everybody in place for that district to run smoothly and the kids to get the greatest benefit,” Livingood said.
Please see this statement from the Carroll County Board of Education regarding a search for a new superintendent. We're also pleased to announce that Chief Financial Officer Jon Conrad will remain with Carroll County Schools.
