This paper describes a K-12 intervention program for educationally at-risk youth in Jackson County, Tennessee. The LEarning VISIONS (LV) program involves teachers, administrators, parents, business leaders, and higher-education personnel in an effort to integrate a variety of long-term intervention strategies while respecting the rural context and local values. The program has six major components: attendance monitoring and support, which includes regular communication with families; academic assistance and innovation involving extra teaching assistants and curriculum change; integrated social services for families; parental education and involvement with particular attention given to teenage parents; increased counseling services for both students and faculty; and career awareness and guidance activities including National Diffusion Network materials. Emphasis has been on institutionalizing practices that can be sustained with local resources; many program components are now accepted as the norm and are funded at least in part through other than federal grant sources. Since the beginning of the program 3 years ago, attendance and test scores are up, more parents are interacting with the schools, the school system has a more positive image in the community, and the schools appear to be more academically focused.
