Kent School Services Network (KSSN)
Kent Schools Services Network (KSSN) is an initiative that involves many partners, but a single goal: to ensure all children are healthy and learning. The partners do this by bringing health and human services right into the school building to help students and families. This provides a one-stop location for families, making services easy to use.
