To: The Kentucky State House, The Kentucky State Senate, and Governor Matt Bevin
The Education Governor
If you want Kentucky to be a leader in education, get the KDE to support the schools that have a track record of great success, like the independent schools, instead of destroying them. Stop unleashing fury on our most successful schools, like Jackson Independent School.
Why is this important?
The Kentucky Department of Education is trying to merge the school where my husband works, Jackson Independent School, with the Breathitt County Schools. We have a model school. Our recent report card score is in the 85th percentile statewide. Breathitt's percentile is 5th, very near the bottom. Their recent superintendent is in the federal penitentiary. If Governor Beshear really cares about education, he will ask KDE to give us the recognition for excellence that we deserve instead of destroying us.
