| History - how SCPY came to be and the organizational
process |
| 1995-1996 |
| It
took the 1995-1996 school year to firmly establish the
coalition. Much brainstorming and discussion went into
choosing the name Scott County Partners For Your Council,
deciding on a format for the meetings, determining what
committees were needed and writing the mission, vision, and
belief statements. Ann Schumacher and Betty LaToush served
as co-chairman during the coalition forming process. |
| The four committees decided upon
were: Safe & Drug Free Schools (to meet the requirements
for the school grant), Community Involvement, Parenting, and
Interagency. |
| The mission decided on: To
strengthen families through collaboration and |

cooperation, community awareness, education
and creative problem solving. |

The vision
statement decided on: That Scott Community will be a place where
families and children feel safe; feel connected to their community;
parents are recognized as the most influential factor in children's
lives; collaboration is facilitated and commitment exists to meet the
changing needs of families. |

believes that families are the foundation of our community, family
authority is undermined by many negative influences, and family and
