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.
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

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.
Great news for KY’s public schools! #SaveOurSchools @DianeRavitch @NPEaction @Network4pubEd @ProfessorJVH
By far my favorite student of the week! Said I was a more “handsomer” President Obama… had to be the suit!!!! @SempleStars
Kentucky teachers have always cared for our students and families far beyond the classroom. In this time of need, they've reminded us of how important they are to keep our state running safely. Thank you, @KYEducators! #TogetherKY
Proud of my @KYEducators family for taking care of our commonwealth. Pres @CampbellsVoice and VP @Joel_Wolford dropped off another batch of supplies for the 606. ❤️

Congressman Andy Barr released the statement below regarding the sudden passing of his wife Carol on Tuesday evening:
One year ago today @KYEducators Retired President Tom Denton went home. KEA lost a longtime leader and public schools lost a tireless advocate. I lost my friend. #RIP
Serious question. What does “pro life” really mean? Pro-lifers say “all life is worthy and should be protected” and I agree!!! How then can ProLife #kyga20 justify meeting, not practice social distancing, and put the lives of colleagues, family and staff in danger? Seriously
Yesterday I signed SB 177 allowing school districts the ability to request an unlimited number of non-traditional instruction days for remote learning during #COVID19. We must still prioritize education for the future of our children. #TeamKentucky #TogetherKy @KyDeptofEd
This week Representative Kim Banta and I filed a resolution to study high-stakes accountability testing in KY. It is time for our students to test less, learn more, and have better outcomes!
