This year marks the mid-point of the 2016-21 Statewide Strategic Agenda, “Stronger by Degrees,” an opportune time to reflect on the system’s successes and challenges as we continue to implement this five-year improvement plan. First, the good news: Kentucky continues to increase the educational attainment level of its adult population, a key indicator of economic competitiveness and prosperity. Kentucky reached 45.5% in 2017, up nearly a percentage point from the previous year. At this rate, the state is on track to meet its goal of having 60% of Kentuckians with a postsecondary credential by the year 2030. I am also pleased to note that undergraduate degrees and credentials increased 2.6% at both KCTCS and public universities over last year, despite continuing cuts in state General Fund appropriations and enrollment declines. The graduation rate rose nearly 4 percentage points at KCTCS and 3.2 percentage points at public universities. Our efforts to improve teaching, advising, and student support services are paying off, and we continue to find innovative, game-changing strategies to move the needle. Unfortunately, Kentucky is one of 11 states where state higher education appropriations have not rebounded to pre-recession levels; per-student funding is lower now than in 2012-13 when adjusted for inflation. As a result, average net price at public four-year universities has been trending upward, placing pressure on college affordability. Enrollment declines in fall 2018, in part due to a strong economy and fewer high school graduates in the pipeline, may also signal college costs have reached a tipping point. CPE will monitor the trend as we work with the General Assembly to advocate for more funding support. A central mission of my presidency is to remind Kentuckians of the value of higher education to individuals and society. We need workers who can think critically, communicate clearly, and work in teams. Every Kentuckian deserves an opportunity to pursue a high-quality postsecondary credential at an affordable price so they can be prepared for whatever challenges the future brings. I am proud of the progress we’ve collectively achieved, and look forward to working with you to ensure many more Kentuckians have access to the transformative education colleges and universities deliver. Dr. Aaron Thompson, President Council on Postsecondary Education Council on Postsecondary Education | 4 Kentucky will be stronger by ensuring postsecondary education is broadly accessible to all residents, students have the support and resources they need to OPPORTUNITYSTRONGER pursue postsecondary opportunities, and all students enter postsecondary education prepared for credit- bearing work.

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.

Legislative Research Commission Foreword Office Of Education Accountability Foreword For over 25 years, the Office of Education Accountability has played an important role in reporting on education reform in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. 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.
