In this episode of GovCast, we sat down with Dr. Demetrus Liggins, superintendent of Fayette County Public Schools, to discuss his journey in education, the evolving role of public schools, and key legislative proposals that could impact Kentucky students. We explore the debate over college-focused education with his upcoming proposal of a 4-E initiative (Education, Enlistment, Entrepreneurship, and Employment), the push for less homework, and the implications of Senate Bills 19, 83, and 268, covering topics like moments of silence, KEES scholarship funding, and virtual education. Dr. Liggins shares valuable insights on how these changes could shape the future of learning and what his priorities are for Fayette County Public Schools.
