Decision on Arts & Humanities Pathway not a local one State Department of Education based decision not to allow Arts & Humanities Pathway, according to letter from Commissioner Dr. Stephen Pruitt, says that A & H Career Pathway has not met two of four requirements for an Arts & Humanities career ready pathway. By Phyllis Curry, Academic Dean, Adair Co. School District I want to say thank you to all the local residents who have expressed concern about the decision by the Kentucky Department of Education to cancel or delay the Arts and Humanities Pathway. I want to clarify that this is in no way a local decision. I want to assure all your readers that Adair County schools are very much on board with teaching the arts. In fact, the local board added an additional teacher at ACES this year so one teacher would not be teaching art, music and drama as had been the case since budget cuts had to be made several years ago. Adair County High School was able to expand the vocal music and drama departments there last year, complementing the strong art and band programs already in place. All of the schools in the district are offering more opportunities to our students than have been offered for a very long time. All of our AH teachers are already capturing student work, portfolio evidence, and other measures needed to satisfy career pathway requirements that had been developed. That is why it is so disappointing to learn that our students will not be able to become career ready via the Arts and Humanities Pathway that was already well into the pilot stage. This is an excerpt from the news release sent out by Commissioner Dr. Stephen Pruitt on Friday, October 16: "Career ready pathway completion/certification must hold to the following criteria:- Phyllis Curry, Academic Dean, Adair County Schools, 1204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY 42728.
