Janet Goodliffe

Janet Goodliffe has worked for the Madison School District, since 1996 and has been the primary driver behind bringing many programs to the district that benefit young children and prevent child abuse. Janet was instrumental in bringing the PAT (Parents as Teachers) program to Rexburg, and has been successful in finding grants and funds to keep it running smoothly. The PAT program is a program aimed at providing in-home education to parents on how they can better interact with their children. After identifying the growing need for mental health services for the families and children in the Madison School District, Janet and her team received a grant to implement Madison Cares, whose primary goal is to strengthen the community by supporting youth and their families who experience mental health challenges. Janet was also the recipient of the 2014 Commissioner’s Award from the Administration of Children and Families.
