The Prichard Committee's Groundswell Initiative is community-first initiative responding to the unique needs of learners and families locally.
Across Kentucky, school districts are reimagining how education works—by building deep, local partnerships with families, communities, and organizations. The results are real: better engagement, fewer barriers, and stronger learner outcomes from early childhood to post-high school.
This isn’t a program. It’s a mindset. A way of working together that’s rooted in long-term partnership, not quick fixes. It’s about solving real challenges with attendance, access, achievement, family voice—one school and one neighborhood at a time.

At Lansdowne Elementary, family engagement isn’t a new initiative, it’s long-standing practice, made more visible by the Prichard Committee's Family Friendly Certification.
From strengthening documentation to refining how impact is captured, the process sharpened the school's mission to bring families and community into the fold.
Read how Lansdowne turned everyday engagement into a recognized, sustained commitment to families. kentuckyteacher.org/leadersh…

At Tates Creek High School in Fayette County, the journey to becoming "family friendly" was about more than certification. It was about listening to families, building real relationships and creating opportunities for two-way conversation—from home visits to open dialogue events like “Donuts with the Principal.”
For schools wondering how to make family engagement meaningful at every level, this story offers a powerful roadmap. Read how Tates Creek is turning engagement into collaboration and why that makes all the difference. kentuckyteacher.org/leadersh…

More than ever we need veteran voices to be heard in Washington, which is why I'm inviting you to join the Service Before Self Challenge.
To Join: Record a video and post it on social media with your name, rank, and why veterans deserve a voice in Congress.
Upload it under the #ServiceBeforeSelf hashtag to all social media platforms to unite with your brothers and sisters.
Only 31 out of 535 seats in Washington are held by combat veterans.
Oklahoma has sent only 3 since World War II.
That has to change and it starts with you getting in the fight.
