Children's Services Fund
Clay County Children’s Services Fund (CCCSF) was created in 2017 following voter approval of a designated one-quarter of a cent sales tax. The Fund provides grants to organizations offering services that protect the well-being and safety of children and youth and strengthen their families. Liberty Public Schools is so grateful for CCCSF’s support to allow us to provide the following high quality supplemental services to our students.

For more information, contact your child’s school counselor or school social worker.
Additional Supports
Children's Services Fund (CSF) provides services to protect the well-being of children and strengthen families. In addition to providing direct services to students and families, CSF also provides funding for a multitude of indirect services to support Social-Emotional Learning within the LPS community. Additional supports include funding for Panorama, Signs of Suicide, Hope Squad, and Conscious Discipline. CSF has also made it possible for LPS staff to attend Social-Emotional Learning-focused conferences, including Restorative Practices and Trauma-Informed Care, and ongoing training for LPS mental health professionals.
Resiliency Lessons
Some elementary classrooms have the opportunity to engage in social and emotional lessons facilitated by providers from Synergy Services. Topics include self-awareness, adaptability, empathy, collaboration, agency, purpose, mindful breathing, and brain science. Additionally, students may be recommended to participate in small groups or individual resiliency services, with parent/guardian permission, to further enhance learning and coping skills. Resources are available below for your information.
