Yes, the LMPD is very embarrassing but they are also very funny so at least we have that.

How many of you work where you can sexually harass a co-worker and instead of being fired, you simply get moved to another job or possibly even promoted? https://t.co/QDb2G5XMz5

Pushing the idea that boxed curriculum should be followed with fidelity and according to the script is bad practice

Here’s what I had to do to the boxed script to ensure student success 🧵

Since poor students score much lower than other students on ALL tests regardless of content area, maybe the issue isn’t how we teach any content but the poverty (which we refuse to address)

[Jason Bailey @jbaileyky]

There's already alarming growth in exploitative child labor in Kentucky. But that'll be supercharged under HB 255, which wipes out existing guardrails and prevents future protections of kids.

It's to be heard in committee tomorrow:

[Kentucky Democrats @KyDems]

We have a historic opportunity to make the investments our families and communities deserve.

The KY GOP just doesn't want to.

[Andy Beshear @AndyBeshearKY]

Right now in Kentucky, about half of our children are showing up for kindergarten unprepared. That’s a failing grade.

Universal pre-K would change all that.

The money is there for a budget that delivers this session, both recurring + one-time funds.

There's over a billion dollars a year in recurring revenue that could go to ongoing needs like teacher raises & child care subsidies. 1/4

"How bout a drink?!"

In 2018-19, @LMPD Ninth Mobile officers drove around the city—mostly #LouWestEnd—throwing drinks on people.

The @courierjournal's @JWoodJourno obtained videos of the attacks.

This marks the first time the so-called #Slushygate videos have been made public.

🚨New data on teacher salaries for the 2024 school year!

After adjusting for still-elevated inflation the average one year increase in pay was only a +0.6% or $327.

Compared to 2008, teacher pay is still down 14.2% - a whopping $9,736! Pay is below '08 levels in every district.

NEW: The difference in per-pupil funding between the state’s poorest and wealthiest school districts now exceeds the level ruled unconstitutional by the state Supreme Court decades ago.

1990 funding gap, adjusted for inflation: $3,489
2022 funding gap: $3,902

As we talk about the Kentucky school bus driver shortage and the role of inadequate pay let's not forget about another important part of public employee compensation: pensions 1/

[Governor Andy Beshear @GovAndyBeshear]

Today, Gov. Andy Beshear outlined his “Education First” budget plan, which provides an 11% pay raise for teachers and all school personnel – the largest single pay raise for public school educators in 40 years – and fully funds universal pre-K.
