Spent the morning Taylor Co. Schools Middle School with school counselors Amy Reynolds & Kristy Parkey and viewing (& experiencing) their calming room (The Nest)! Love that both their students & staff are getting to reap the benefits! GRRECKY KY Dept of Education

Great being with WKEC Sarah Akin and Dr. Damien Sweeney this morning. Meeting the disparate needs of ALL students is the priority. #KYDL

We rank 44th in the nation for starting teacher pay. Kentucky's educators are being forced to take on additional jobs because they aren't being paid enough to make ends meet. Our educators deserve better – let's invest in them.

So happy to see my friend Dr. Damien Sweeney today KAGE conference!
