Owensboro Day Treatment principal Jeremy Camron has been appointed president of the State Agency Children School Administrators Association (SACSAA), which plays a major role in supporting educational initiatives for state agency children.
Camron previously served as the SACSAA president-elect for 2 years. He’s been the ODT principal since 2018 and has 23 years of teaching experience.
“I’m excited for the opportunity to lead the administrators’ group for this organization that works with state agents and children,” Camron said. “It’s an amazing opportunity to learn from state agency schools all around the state, highlighting the amazing work being done by shining the light on innovative teaching. This position allows me to be an advocate for Allstate Agency children with KECSAC and to work with our legislature to remove barriers and hopefully change their future.”
SACSAA, a member group comprising school administrators in Kentucky Educational Collaborative for State Agency Children (KECSAC) programs, plays a crucial role in supporting educational initiatives for state agency children.
In his capacity as SACSAA president, Camron will represent the association on the KECSAC Interagency Advisory Group (IAG). This responsibility involves providing strategic guidance to KECSAC leadership through collaborating with state agency partners from the Kentucky Departments of Education, Juvenile Justice, Community Based Services, and Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities.
The KECSAC programs, which SACSAA administrators oversee, are designed to provide educational services to children in state agency custody.
“Through KECSAC, the Commonwealth of Kentucky annually provides residential and community-based services to approximately 8,000 state agency children, currently in 71 programs across 47 school districts,” a release says. “These programs cater to a unique student population that our state agency partners operate, fund, or contract services with including residential facilities, group homes, and day treatment centers. State agency children also reside in private childcare and mental health programs operated by child welfare agencies and organizations. The work of SACSAA and its leadership is therefore critical in ensuring that these students receive high-quality education tailored to their specific needs.”
