Published October 19, 2009 03:42 pm - Gov. Steve Beshear, First Lady Jane Beshear and the top two educaiton officials will make 10 stops across three days from Paducah to Ashland on an education tour next week. Beshear education tour under way By RONNIE ELLIS CNHI News Service FRANKFORT — The governor and first lady will spend three days this week hop-scotching the state for a series of press conferences and town hall meetings on education.
Gov. Steve Beshear, first lady Jane Beshear, Education and Workforce Development Cabinet Secretary Helen Mountjoy and Education Commissioner Terry Holliday will visit 10 schools from Paducah to Ashland in three days. Beshear has said he wants to hear the public’s concerns about education reform and implementation of its latest round, Senate Bill 1 passed this spring. The measure would require alignment of high school curricula with college preparedness, revise the accountability testing system and focus more time on fewer learning standards. The governor, according to Holliday, also wants to talk about early childhood education, something he stressed in his 2007 campaign for governor. The tour began Monday with stoops in Lexington, Louisville, Paducah, Henderson, and Owensboro. On Tuesday, the stops are in Bowling Green at 11:30 a.m. CDT, Perry County Central High School in Hazard, and Pike Central High School in Pikeville. The tour makes two stops on Wednesday: 10:30 a.m. at Hager Elementary School in Ashland and then at 2 p.m. at Randall K. Cooper High School in Union.
