POL Partners-History and Concept

   The Points of Light Partners program begin in 2013 when Allen County School Superintendent Randall Jackson envisioned  reaching out to the local church community to seek church members who might be willing to volunteer in a school in the district. Drawing from a successful church-school partnership in Warren County,  Mr. Jackson along with Allen County Director of Instruction Rick Fisher and Kathy Clark, Reading Specialist at the Allen County Primary Center started the steps necessary to began the program.

   The Allen County School District contacted the local church community, explained the need in Allen County, introduced the concept, and launched the program. By the 2014-15 school year, the POL Partner program began to look to other organizations in the community who might be willing to join in the program.
