Every morning across the Commonwealth, children walk into our schools to engage in one of the greatest accomplishments in the history of mankind — a free public education. As children enter the classroom, their unique experiences accompany them. Yet, no matter the strength or opportunity for growth a child brings into that classroom, a single caring adult is there to greet them day in and day out — their teacher.

However, Kentucky’s dire teacher shortage has reached critical proportions. The shortage impacts our children’s ability to learn every single day.
