Why Kentucky school buses are hazardous to students' health and must be replaced


Why Kentucky school buses are hazardous to students' health and must be replaced

Jefferson County Public Schools demonstrated how the return to in-person learning would be handled in the pandemic. Gutermuth Elementary third grade student Kenya Hannah wears her mask as she boards a school bus on Feb. 22, 2021.
Imagine if our public schools were responsible for poisoning elementary school students on a regular basis.  How would the community react if each day, giant metal contraptions spewing toxic fumes were placed directly outside the buildings where our children attend school. Imagine if this occurred as hundreds of 8-year olds emerged from the school building upon dismissal. Then imagine if half of those kids were then placed inside these contraptions, still inhaling toxic fumes, for an hour while they are transported home. This is the reality for hundreds of thousands of Kentucky public school students still subjected to the harmful environmental, health and cognitive effects of the iconic yellow school bus.

New, inclusive WCPS curriculum draws mixed parent reviews


Warren County Public Schools is implementing a new English language arts curriculum that explores social justice themes, including human rights and how students can affect societal change, a move that has drawn praise from some parents and questions from others.
The new Expeditionary Learning curriculum is being used in some capacity in several of the district’s elementary schools, including Warren, Lost River, Rich Pond, Jody Richards, Plano, Natcher, Alvaton, North Warren, Oakland, Bristow and Richardsville elementary schools.
For fifth grade students, as an example, the curriculum features academic modules that ask students to “consider the factors that contribute to the success of professional athletes as leaders of social change,” according to its website. Recommended fifth-grade texts include Pam Muñoz Ryan’s “Esperanza Rising,” an award-winning novel that centers on the experience of a migrant Mexican girl who moves to California during the Great Depression.
