Lincoln 21 ACHIEVE
When Danny Bell became superintendent of Lincoln Parish schools, he had one goal at heart--strengthen our public schools while accelerating student academics at all grade and ability levels. Research has shown that the most successful schools not only have solid community support, but active interest and participation from its members. Therefore his vision included the implementation of a critically important component—effective community partnerships. Toward this effort, Lincoln ACHIEVE was launched. And from its beginning in August of 2006, this new initiative has worked to promote “Accelerating Children Higher In Educational Values Everywhere.” Coordinated within the parish’s fourteen public schools, ACHIEVE provides a mechanism for strategies and resources to be customized in order to meet the unique needs of a school’s student body while positively impacting academic achievement.

Intervention must be initiated by the filing of a written complaint by a caretaker, other adult family member, a representative of an agency having the responsibility or ability to supply services to a family, or any other person authorized by the Juvenile Court to begin the FINS program.
