SUMMARY: Educators in Kentucky are concerned about a troubling statistic: only one school district, Science Hill Independent in Pulaski County, is fully staffed. As of September 1, Kentucky had nearly 900 open teaching positions, with the most significant shortages in elementary education, special subjects like music and PE, and middle school math and science. According to the Department of Education, approximately 133% of teaching positions remained unfilled throughout the last school year. This staffing crisis highlights ongoing challenges facing the state‘s educational system.

State data shows that 13% of vacant positions remained open last year and there are currently 899 vacant positions.

SUMMARY: Secretary of State Michael Adams anticipates higher voter turnout in this election compared to 2020, citing a 58% increase in absentee ballot requests and a 164% rise in early voting participants. He urges voters to utilize early voting this week to avoid crowding on Election Day. Adams notes that it’s essential to manage a steady flow of several hundred thousand voters daily to ensure a smooth process. On Election Day, polls will operate from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and anyone in line by closing time will have their vote counted.

Kentucky expects high turnout for the election.
