I believe we should do like North Carolina already is doing: establish high schools where you can work on college credits at the same time. It saves a student thousands of dollars in college fees, gain college hours, and plus it bumps up the number of people obtaining their degrees.

Yes, we need to augment the course offerings thru dual credit agreements so that students can take courses locally and earn advanced credits toward their college degree. EKU-Manchester and SCC-London both offer courses at their respective locations for CCHS students, but it would be a wonderful example of collaboration and partnership if CCHS would develop a pathway which would allow for more students to be able to participate and earn advanced credits. Advanced credit classes can help prepare students for college level work, could save families thousands of dollars in tuition, could improve student motivation, attendance, and graduation, and could help to increase the college and career readiness rates by which the schools are held accountable per Senate Bill One.

What I was referring to was a high school setup where you can work on both your high school and college credits at the same time. North Carolina has had several such schools for the past few years, and they are already seeing results. As for what it would take to implement such a program in Kentucky, I'd say you would have to change the current state law regarding school setup and so on.

I would concur with you that we definitely need new ideas and solutions to the problems and this would be an innovation that could help our students more forward along their career pathway, faster, better, and maybe even less expensive! the one wrote: <quoted text>

<quoted text> The idea I mentioned earlier is by no means a cure all solution, but I believe it would at least slow down the brain drain from this region. As of right now, the brain drain has been at almost full speed ahead, with no real attempts to hit the brakes. Jobs ready to go combined with my proposal would work even better, and many employers seeking to relocate do look at things such as what percentage of locals have at least some college education and so on.

The BOE has always been corrupt, corrupt to the core. They basically run this county, always have, always will. Doug Adams is sitting in a jail cell and what good did it do? The BOE is still full of crooks who are doing anything and everything they want to line their pockets at our childrens expense. I don't know what can be done to stop it, but I hope some way, some how they can be brought to their knees. It would be nice for a change that our children be put first, all the money be spent on giving them them the best education possible,instead of select members sticking it in their pockets, or making joke jobs for their friends and family just to get a easy pay day. I hate it, and hope it ends very soon!!!!!!!!!!

<quoted text> I know a major hangup in much of Kentucky that could stop such a plan from possibly being implemented (especially in the most rural parts of the state) would be the concern over their high school sports teams. Under current KHSAA regulations, you must be an enrolled student at that particular school in order to participate with their sports programs. I would encourage working with the KHSAA to find a way to allow a student enrolled in a special school such as proposed to still be allowed to participate in their local high school teams under some sort of an exemption process. That way you can still preserve your local teams without diluting their quality of education, and it could still be a win-win situation for everyone involved. Hey, it's an idea, but it wouldn't hurt to see if something could be done with that.

I will mention this idea to both Robert Stivers and Ralph Hoskins who are candidates for State Senate to ascertain their perspective on the issue. the one wrote: <quoted text>
