2025 PRIORITIES
Unleash Lifelong Learning in Every Classroom for Every Student
- Build momentum for the need and possibilities for a new accountability system aligned with the Kentucky United We Learn Framework
- Study and make recommendations to identify outdated, redundant, and/or unnecessary mandates imposed on schools and districts
- Continue to support and fund the Read to Succeed and Numeracy Counts Act
- Improve homeschool provider qualifications and eligibility requirements to include a “stay-put” provision prohibiting homeschool enrollment for students in truancy or pending disciplinary issues
Recruit and Retain High Quality Public School Teachers and Staff
- Support EPSB with reviewing and reforming certification limits to broaden options for schools and districts to maximize the talents of their teachers to meet the needs of their students. (eg. K-8, 6-12 certs) Consider changes to the gatekeepers of certification to provide multiple paths to demonstrate competencies for earning certification (“weed in” vs. “weed out”)
- Align educator professional development requirements with educator contracts to emphasize job-embedded training and personalized learning to enhance instructional and leadership capacities.
- Support a “grassroots campaign” through educator rising chapters in every middle school, high school and education preparation program in the state including a robust slate of student activities to cultivate their knowledge and interest in the education career pathway.
- Continue to explore ways to build the education pipeline for the long term
A Focus on Kentucky Public Education Funding
- Closing the SEEK shortfall to ensure the budget cycle and long-term planning continues for school districts across Kentucky.
- Improve school facility construction funding and administration process, namely to codify the construction administration provisions passed in HB727 of 2024 that reduced redundancies and enhanced efficiency
- Requiring a fiscal note of financial impact statement for every education bill to ensure we have no unfunded mandates.
- Fix the language in the budget bill to ensure districts can be reimbursed for all SRO’s and ensure safe schools for every student
