Emeritus Professor of Psychology West Virginia State College 1993 • 1 . I NTRODUCTION: Although not a legal r ight presc ribed by the U.S . Constitution, public elementary and secondary educ ation is and should be a high priority in our . nation . The process of educ ating our children has gone through many phases over the years, somewhat parallel t o the growth and economic development o f our country, including the modernization of industrial and labor intensive extracting industries to computerized and highly mechanized manufacturing procedures. The historical development of the pubic educational system in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, especially in Carter County , is a microcosm o f t he national educational system. A brief review· of the history of Kentucky and Carter County with a f ocus on public education, exemplifies the development of our public school system in America. Kentucky has adopted four constitutions since gaining statehood: 1792, 1799, 1850 and 1891 ; however, none o f the first three constitutions reflected any concern for a public school system . Over the years there have been several abortive attempts to revamp Kentucky's Constitution b ut elected officials have not accomplished that feat. Even though the Constitution of the Un ited States makes no direct mention of formal education the nation has developed ~ducation undertakings without specific benefit from U.S . Constitutional Law . For example, the United States has provided modern grants-in-aid, promotion o f education throughout the nation , collected and disseminated specialized information available to all citizens and has provided expert advice in a variety of technical areas .

Introduction As THE SMOKE of the Civil War battles cleared in 1865, Americans, in particular those of African descent, lived for the first time in a national culture without chattel slavery. The immediate con­ cern for blacks was survival as emancipated men and women in a society where they did not enjoy the full rights, privileges, and immunities of citizenship. Aware of this conundrum, thoughtful blacks equipped themselves for their predicament by pursuing what they could not easily obtain before emancipation: an education. Organizations and individuals previously involved in the fight for abolition of American slavery now focused their efforts on the educa­ tion of freed blacks. The American Missionary Association, the Slater Fund, the Anna T. Jeanes Fund and, much later, the General Education Board committed extensive resources to black education over a period that extended well into the twentieth century.

Today, the 16 employees of OEA strive to provide fair and equitable accountability, documenting the challenges and opportunities confronting Kentucky’s education system. In December 2014, the Education Assessment and Accountability Review Subcommittee approved the 2015 research agenda for the Office of Education Accountability, which included this primer on Kentucky’s independent school districts. These school districts are those whose geographic boundaries are defined not by the county lines that define most districts, but by historic boundaries within counties. Though they often bear the names of cities, these school districts operate independently of cities. This primer explains the history, legal context, and characteristics of the 53 independent school districts distributed across the Commonwealth.
