    PSA: Next time you show up angry to a board mtg, write a mean email, or just get frustrated with your local superintendent, remember that they were the 1st people across KY to reach out to districts in BG/Mayfield offering help & support. They are all about kids & families!

    Amazing sight. Not delivering kids but delivering to kids & families. Strong/thriving schools = strong/thriving communities #loveKYschools #bgstrong

    That uncertain feeling when you think there are protestors against school reopening @BGJHS on first day of school. Then you realize they are holding signs that say welcome back and honk if you are excited for school. 3 college age kids give me hope.

    PLEASE @GovAndyBeshear, visit @BGISD & @WarrenCoSchools to appreciate firsthand the awesome work that educators in both districts are doing in-person/virtually each day. @RobClayton10 & I will give you access to both districts. The 30,000 foot view from Frankfort is not reality.
    Replying to @ksbanews and @GovAndyBeshear
    .@GovAndyBeshear says that the White House is very concerned about the numbers in Warren County, where both Warren County Schools and Bowling Green Ind. are both having in-person classes.

    So long my friend. Not sure any of us will ever meet another one like Paul Gray.

    I have found the face for @bgisd #highattendanceday2018 Ulises Hernandez, @BGJHS, 6th grader. Missed bus—could have stayed at home. Not Ulises—he walked 2.7 miles to school because he said “I’m supposed to be at school”. @DGSherrill00003 brought him a new BG hat.

    A sad day for our community. Danny Carothers was a coach, mentor, father figure, leader, advocate, hometown hero & most importantly a friend to so many of us. His impact was felt from our youngest Purples to our oldest ones leading in our community today. RIP my friend

    This picture from @wku sums it up. Thank you to our @BGISD staff for running towards the fire today & making sure our students/families know the educators in their lives are here to support them. So much more to do but this community will come together to heal as one.

    A sad day for education in the state of Kentucky & for a leader like @DrSPruitt What has happened to common sense & decency in government. We should all be ashamed of the poor example we set for the kids who look up to us.
    The #KBE has voted to amend @DrSPruitt’s contract as the Commissioner of Education to pay him through 90 days and accept the commissioner's resignation.

    And to give the credit where it belongs, the 630 @BGISD team members who are showing up every day to not only teach but care for the children of our community. Come see it in action. Advise us, support us, but please stop judging us.
    .@GovAndyBeshear we can disagree with data. We have a commitment & history of transparency. Our families share health info with us & in-school health providers are both proactive in reducing risks & efficient reacting to students needs. Open invitation to visit @BGISD schools
