SUMMARY: The Kentucky Department of Education has released the 2023-2024 school year assessment data, showing notable progress for Fayette County Public Schools (FCPS). For the first time since 2018, no FCPS school received the lowest federal rating. The number of schools needing targeted support has decreased from 34 to 12, primarily focusing on special education and English language learners. There have also been increases in proficient test scores, particularly a 3% rise in middle school reading and a 7% in math. Despite these achievements, FCPS leadership emphasizes the need for continued improvement and individualized support for each student.

Fayette County Public Schools has responded after new accountability data was released on Thursday.

SUMMARY: Good Friday morning! It’s a gray start, but thankfully no heavy rain like yesterday. While Richmond experiences dreary skies, most areas remain dry with only patchy drizzle. Today’s weather will be cloudy with temperatures in the mid-50s. The system that caused the rainfall is moving out, and high pressure is on the way, promising sunshine by Saturday afternoon. Overnight lows will drop into the lower 40s, possibly upper 30s in some areas. Next week, expect increasing clouds Monday, scattered showers Tuesday, and a cold air surge bringing the potential for snow flurries by next Thursday.

What’s that? Next week? Is that a blast of winter air on the horizon?
Is there moisture in there with that frigid of air? Could that mean snowflakes could fly? Stay tuned!
