Kentucky businesses and families rely on childcare assistance to make ends meet - to ensure our littlest learners are learning and our economy is humming. Freezing funds will disrupt progress - no matter how you measure it.

KY Friends on X, If you're like me, at times you wonder how our children's formative years prepared them for life after high school and for a rapidly-changing future with respect to the economy and the labor market. With that in mind, I've been very interested in understanding how our children experienced school; what served them well, not so well, and what do they wish they would have received that they did not. I'm excited to share - and request your help with - a Young Adult Survey which will help us better understand their experience and inform the shape of Kentucky's education system going forward - so we can help ensure Kentucky's high school diploma is meaningful to them - and the future they will inherit. If you have a child, grandchild, niece, nephew, or neighborhood friend who is between the ages of 20-35 and was educated in Kentucky public schools, please ask them to take this short survey. Their voice is important to Kentucky's future and to us at The @PrichardCom for Academic Excellence. You can share the X post or you can click on the post and share the URL link with them by text or email. Please help us get a resounding understanding of their experience. This post is also on my FB and LinkedIN for easy sharing there. #MeaningfulDiploma #GroundswellKY #BigBoldFuture Young Adult Survey: mailchi.mp/prichardcommittee…

Good things are happening! @DanvilleSchools recently hosted a "Learning Walk" for community members and parents to become better acquainted with what's happening in the classroom. It was a slam dunk! "As a parent and community member I can let other parents know how much is going on in the schools and also push them to want to be a part of experiences like these to be more involved parents. And for parents to want to share their time and talents with the school community."-Parent Big KUDOS to @yatesinfirst, Community Schools District Director for his vision and follow-through! Building a #Groundswell for a #BigBoldFuture - one KY community at a time.
