Kentucky Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman has expressed her apprehensions regarding recent moves to dismantle the state's Department of Education. In a statement made on Sunday, Coleman highlighted the potential negative impacts of such actions, emphasizing the importance of a strong educational framework for the state's students and teachers.
The concerns come after President Trump signed an executive order that could lead to significant changes in how education is managed at both state and federal levels. Coleman argued that the disassembly of the Department of Education could undermine efforts to improve educational standards and access for all Kentucky students.
She stressed that education should remain a top priority, particularly in light of the challenges faced during the pandemic. The Lt. Governor’s remarks reflect a growing anxiety among educators and parents about the future of educational policies and resources in Kentucky. As discussions continue, many are calling for a more unified approach to ensure that the needs of students are met effectively.
