Through Head Start funding the programs provide services to 105 three- and four-year old children in center based services and Early Head Start to 80 children in center and home based services. Through the funds provided by the State of Kentucky in its Kentucky Preschool, preschool mandates that the program also serve children ages three and four with diagnosed disabilities and/or meet income eligibility requirements of 150% below poverty. The number of these children varies annually. As the grantee Carroll County Schools is the local education authority for Carroll County and is located in Carrollton, Kentucky. Methodology The collection and analysis of information from multiple sources serves a critical function in the design of the programs and delivery systems for Carroll County Child Development Center. The community assessment process serves to identify population characteristics and defines the targeted county’s population to be served. It identifies relevant demographic features of the area and identifies existing programs that also serve the target population. The community assessment process also provides relevant information about the needs and strengths of individuals, programs and areas defined both by agencies that serve the population and by the population to be served. This community assessment, developed with input from program staff, official data sources and program information, serves to identify population characteristics and defines the target populations to be served. It identifies relevant demographic features of the area and provides analysis about the services need for low-income families in the areas served by Carroll County Child Development Center The information gathered through these sources will serve as a basis for the future design of the program and the services to children and their families. Background and History Carroll County is in north-central Kentucky, on the Ohio River at the mouth of the Kentucky River. According to The Kentucky Encyclopedia, “Carroll County is watered and drained by the Carroll County Child Development program Community Assessment p. 3 Kentucky River, as well as by the Little Kentucky River, Eagle Creek, and McCool’s Creek. It is located in the Outer Bluegrass region of the state. The elevation in the county ranges from 420 feet to 940 feet above sea level. In 2000 the county population was 10,155 in a land area of 130.09 square miles, an average of 78.1 people per square mile. The county seat is Carrollton. Along the river bottoms the land is gently rolling, with the remainder of the county hilly.” Carrollton is located at the confluence of the Ohio and Kentucky rivers, thirty-nine miles northeast of Louisville. Carroll County comprises a total of 130 square miles, making it Kentucky’s third smallest county. According to The Kentucky Encyclopedia (1992, The University Press of Kentucky; John E. Kleber, Editor-in-Chief), Carroll County was “the eighty-seventh county established [in Kentucky.] It was formed in 1838 from parts of the adjoining counties of Gallatin, Trimble, and Henry. The county seat is Carrollton; both were named for Charles Carroll of Maryland, the last surviving signer of the Declaration of the Independence. Carroll County is Kentucky’s third smallest, covering 130 square miles.” “Prior to settlement, Indians hunted in the area. A military blockhouse built in 1790 by Gen. Charles Scott and his Kentucky Volunteers provided protection for early settlers from Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. The federal government’s treaty with the Shawnee in 1794 lessened the danger of attack, and farmers began producing crops for marketing in Louisville and Cincinnati via riverboats on the Ohio.” In a separate entry, The Kentucky Encyclopedia gives a brief history of Carrollton: “Carrollton, the seat of Carroll County, is located at the confluence of the Ohio and Kentucky rivers, thirty- nine miles northeast of Louisville. This… city, laid out by Benjamin Craig and James Hawkins, was named Port Williams by an act of the Kentucky legislature in 1794. When Gallatin County was formed in 1798, Port William served as the seat. In 1838, when part of Gallatin County was Carroll County Child Development program Community Assessment p. 4 incorporated in Carroll County, Port William became Carrollton and the seat of the new county. Carrollton’s riverfront location promoted growth until 1868, when the Louisville and Nashville Railroad was built ten miles from the city limits and river traffic waned. The Carroll County courthouse, built in 1841, was replaced by the present courthouse in 1884. It is listed on the National register of Historic Places, along with twenty-five other Victorian buildings in the downtown area.” Population Characteristics Population (2000 Census) 10,155 Population (2010 Census) 10,811 County Rate of Growth 6.5% Population Male 5,503 (50.9%) Population Female 5,308 (49.1%) Population Single Race 10,563 Population White 9956 Population African American 163 Hispanic of any race 790 Source: U.S. Census Figures The table above indicates that the population of the county is nearly evenly split in terms of sex and is predominately white. It is expected that the Carroll County Child Development Center’s program will have similar breakdowns. The 2010 Census now reports over seven percent of the population reporting Latino heritage, but it is still believed that the census figures fail to paint an accurate picture of the Hispanic population of the county. The grantee, Carroll County Schools has a special program to assist families who speak Spanish as a primary language. Population under five 800 Population 5-20 1918 Population 20-24 615 Population 25-34 1407 Carroll County Child Development program Community Assessment p. 5 Population 35-49 2297 Population 50-64 2104 Population 65+ 1395 Median Age 35.9 Source: 2010 U.S. Census Figures The small population is fairly evenly distributed in terms of age. The ‘under the age of five’ category makes up less than seven percent of the total population. The median age for this county is the same as the median age for the state. What this means for the program is that while there will be demand for services there is not an abnormal number of people in any age range. However when the census figures on grandparents raising grandchildren is reviewed, it is observed that there 289 grandparents raising children of all ages in poverty. Overall this is about 3% of all grandparents in the county. Some of the information provided by the 2010 Census explains that most grandparents raising children are female and that overall 64% of all grandparents are married and 51% are in labor force. What this means for the program is that there will be some who may be raising children who are at least age eligible and possibly income eligible and this may have to be taken into account by family services when designing program activities and recruitment materials and techniques. Estimating Number of Eligible Children Source: 2010 U.S. Census, Ky. Early Childhood Profile 2015 2012 2009 Number of children 0-4 0 – 2: 573 871 771 3 – 4: 339 Poverty Rate 68.8% 33.4% 25.3% Number of children 0-5 100% - 591 No data 152 in poverty 150% - 705 Estimation of number of No data 31 children 0-5 in 100% 0 – 2: 394 poverty by age group 3 – 4: 233 It is readily observable that children living in poverty in Carroll County has risen at an alarming rate over the past few years. According to the Kids Count Data Book for 2013 and 2015, the rate for children living in 100% poverty grew from 40.6% to 57.7%. The full utilization plan in place means that the program will consistently assign the neediest to Head Start and Early Head Start and the Kentucky Preschool program with it higher income guidelines

  • Biennial Assessment of Ohio River Water Quality Conditions
    Biennial Assessment of Ohio River Water Quality Conditions for Water Years 2000 and 2001 July 2002 The Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission 5735 Kellogg Avenue Cincinnati, Ohio 45228-1112 PART I: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ohio River is one of the nation’s great natural resources. It provides drinking water to nearly three million people; is a warm water habitat for aquatic life; provides numerous recreational opportunities; is used as a major transportation route; and is a source of water for manufacturing and power generation. The Ohio River forms in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers and flows in a southwesterly direction for 981 miles to join the Mississippi River near Cairo, Illinois. The first 40 miles of the Ohio River lie within the state of Pennsylvania. The remaining 941 miles form the state boundaries between Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio to the north, and Kentucky and West Virginia to the south. The Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO; the Commission) is an interstate agency charged with abating existing pollution in the Ohio River Basin, and preventing future degradation of its waters. ORSANCO was created in 1948 with the signing of the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Compact. This report fulfills the following requirements of the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Compact: 1) To survey the district to determine water pollution problems. 2) To identify instances in which pollution from a state(s) injuriously affects waters of another state(s). This report is a biennial assessment of Ohio River water quality conditions in terms of the degree to which the river supports each of its four designated uses: warm water aquatic life; public water supply; contact recreation; and fish consumption.
