KDE requested a waiver so our public schools would not have to administer KPREP this year, but it was denied. It's up to us to #CancelTheTests! #RefuseKPREP
We support @NEAToday's call to #CancelTheTests. Unfortunately, in Kentucky, students can't #OptOut of high-stakes tests. Since it's online this year, we tell students to #RefuseKPREP by staying home or not touching the mouse or keyboard. More resources: https://t.co/geqDLAXqhH

It is no longer OK to have majority-Black kids and no Black administrators, she adds.
When MLK came to Louisville 52 years ago around this time, he told us “Upon this rock, we are going to build an open city.”
Please join us for a healing ceremony to start building the city we all desire.
