FRANKFORT, Ky. (LEX 18) â Gov. Andy Beshear on Thursday announced the relaunch of the Kentucky Academy for Equity in Teaching, a statewide initiative to recruit and retain a more diverse workforce of teachers.
The academy will focus on three areas: to inspire, prepare and educate the future and current teacher workforce. The initiative aims to provide grants, mentoring, coaching and training, as well as support for recruitment while working to expand pathways to educator certification. Educators are given the wonderful responsibility of helping shape the future of the commonwealth by serving our children, Commissioner of Education Jason E. Glass said. âBut we have too few people wanting to become teachers and too many teachers leaving the field shortly after they start.

A new state audit says the Kentucky Office of Unemployment Insurance violated federal law and left hundreds of thousands of emails from Kentuckians unread in its rush to pay unemployment insurance benefits in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic.
KyCIR first reported that the unemployment insurance program had violated federal rules in August, and Kentucky’s public auditor Mike Harmon released an earlier report in December that found the state didn’t know how much money the state still had to pay out in unemployment benefits.
Harmon said the findings “should be deeply concerning to taxpayers and those who have filed for UI benefits.”
