The program staff includes a certified teacher, a trained aide, and the program coordinator. According to Jeff Vaughn, Program Coordinator, “we may have a small staff, but they work diligently to provide the academic support and guidance to students that making different choices can lead to success.”
ACES is administered by the Council on Rural Services in collaboration with the Darke County Educational Service Center and local school districts including Bradford Local School, Tri-Village Local Schools, Ansonia Local School, Versailles Schools, Franklin Monroe Local Schools, Arcanum Local Schools and Mississinawa Valley Schools in Darke County. The students receive their classroom instruction at the ACES Greenville location, but are awarded credits and diplomas from their home schools. All students must be referred to the program by their home school’s principal, to be considered for enrollment.
