Dear Families,

We are pleased to announce that Carroll County Schools has been granted state permission to offer “Non-Traditional Instruction” (NTI) days during the 2018-2019 school year. This plan will allow learning to take place at home when conditions prevent schools from being in session. An NTI day will count as an instructional day and will not have to be made up at the end of the school year.

Carroll County High School principal Tom Stephens has accepted the position of Coordinator of Student Services for the Carroll County School District.

This is a new position that will work to improve student opportunities and to reduce barriers.

Stephens will continue to serve as principal until a replacement has been named.

Carrollton, Ky. — October 22, 2018 — If you see Chelsea Moore, there is a good chance she is helping someone. When she is not earning Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certifications at the Carroll County Area Technology Center, she works as a mechanic at Herb Kinman Chevrolet and serves on the Westside Volunteer Fire Department.

“Chelsea is a hard worker, and she knows where she is going,” said interim ATC principal Ron Livingood. “She doesn’t wait around for opportunities to come her way. She understands that ‘opportunity’ and ‘work’ are the same thing, something we try to teach all of our students.”

A senior at Carroll County High School, Moore takes classes in the morning and works in the afternoon through the ATC’s co-op program. However, Moore’s work day does not end when school does.

Carrollton, Ky. — September 27, 2018 — Carroll County High School exceeded all accountability indicators from the Kentucky Department of Education for the 2017–2018 school year. Other Carroll County School District schools exceeded KDE’s growth metrics for school accountability.

“Release of assessment data is always an exciting time. It’s a time for reflection upon our work from the previous year and an opportunity to analyze data to best determine our next steps to improving the educational experiences for all our students,” said Superintendent Danny Osborne. “Proficiency scores are an important indicator of student learning, and while we are surpassing the cut scores for growth across the entire district, we know we have some work to do in that area and are always seeking to improve. However, we also know that proficiency in isolation isn’t always a predictor of future success and that proficiency scores alone do not define our students nor do they celebrate their unique talents, skills, and interests, which are indicators that factor into lifelong success.”

Kentucky’s 2017–2018 accountability system measured the following indicators, according to a state release:

Carrollton, Ky. — August 29, 2018 — Starting Sept. 10, in order to ensure the safety of our students, all visitors must present identification before entering a Carroll County School District school.
