Kentucky teachers make 25% less than comparable college grads--a fact that fuels the teacher shortage and should be addressed rather than funding vouchers through Amendment 2: go.epi.org/Wjih

Public schools are some of our counties' largest employers across the commonwealth – especially in Eastern Kentucky. When we give our educators a raise, we are giving our rural communities a leg up.

Eden said it best: The future of Kentucky's education system is important enough to invest in – and it's important enough to invest in NOW.

“Raising pay alone may not improve teacher well-being or retention. Improvements in working conditions are also required, and our research confirms that improving administrator support appears to be an important lever.” bit.ly/3ZqsJS2

The teacher shortage is real and impacting school districts across America. We are doing everything we can in JCPS to retain and recruit teachers, including helping our own employees fulfill their dreams of becoming teachers. #MakeaDifference #WeAreJCPS – at Louisville, KY

Last spring, I asked you to join me in volunteering at our schools. Now there is another way to help! Kentucky teachers are sharing their classroom supply needs. If you’re a teacher, comment with your class wish-list. Let’s get to work, #TeamKentucky!

Q: How does the new "low wealth" supplement improve equity in teacher pay?
A: Here's an example.
In 2020, only 30 school districts offered teachers an average of $4,000+ above base pay.
With this supplement, 80 school districts could offer $4,000+ above base pay. #nced

This is an education-first administration, because education is the key to breaking cycles of poverty and building more opportunity for the people of Kentucky. I was proud to proclaim Nov. 15-19, 2021, American Education Week in the commonwealth.

We consistently agree with the sentiments expressed by the judge in this case. We've found insufficient evidence that credits are successful in enhancing academic performance. KY must commit to adequately supporting the 650k public school students to achieve at the highest levels
BREAKING: A judge has ruled against Kentucky's education opportunity account program.

The first cohort of JCPS’ teacher residency program is celebrating tonight — they’ve (almost) completed their master’s at U of L and are about to sign on to teach in a high-needs JCPS school for five years. 🎉

As a teacher, I feel the concerns of my fellow educators about reopening. Their voice has to be heard, it has to be elevated, and it has to be a part of every reopening plan because they are the experts. ^JC #TogetherKY #TeamKentucky
