@JamesATipton presents HB 319 relating to the teacher shortage.

We’re committed to providing the appropriate and responsible legislative solutions, but we’re also looking to the Department of Education, the Council on Postsecondary Education, and the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority to work with us to address this issue.

Last session we provided local school districts with the funding to provide raises for all employees, this session we’re focused on making existing state programs and resources work more effectively at increasing access to a career in education.

In the biennial budget, we increased per-student funding to eligible FRYSCS from approximately $184 to $210. The funds will go directly towards helping our students.

Last week, members had the opportunity to hear directly from the students and FRYSCs! #OneTeamFCS #WeAllThrive #whateverittakes #fryscstrong #kybuilt FRYSC Day 2023 youtu.be/xJHj6U-JNo4 via @YouTube

The House has convened for Day 6 of the 2023 Regular Session. #KYGA23

This morning, members had the opportunity to ride a school bus to visit Westridge Elementary in Frankfort. They were hosted by the students and District 5 Family Resource & Youth Services Center Coordinators. It was great chance to hear directly from the students and FRYSCs.

American Heart Month is a wonderful opportunity to focus our attention on ways to promote and maintain heart health.

@Grandparentsfo6 @JamesComer @barrforcongress I actually voted against that bill.

@JamesComer @barrforcongress @JamesATipton Gerrymandered district 1 … from the Mississippi to Anderson County … who drew up that map? … GOP … looks like GYM’s district in Ohio … two peas in a rotten pod!

Campaigning in Anderson County just outside Lawrenceburg. Anderson is now a split county with my friend and colleague @barrforcongress. I’ll be on the ballot in the western part of Anderson. #KY1
