Letter: School Delays Samantha Montgomery writes: It's good to know that the local school district would rather take the easy way out and delay school for two weeks than do the right thing and wear masks. I can't help but wonder what type of message that sends to children when they see adults unwilling to do the bare minimum to protect the lives of others.Comments re: Adair Co.

Official Delay of School Announcement From Dr. Pamela A. Stephens, Superintendent Adair County Board of Education Earlier today, the decision was made for Adair County Schools to open on Wednesday, August 25th. This decision was made based on the late announcement of the governor's executive order that masks/face coverings must be worn in schools. This additional time allows for us to explore parental choice options, to allow legislative challenges be resolved in Frankfort, and to monitor our local COVID numbers. Our intent is to provide the safest in-person instruction possible to our students. Adair County School District values parental input and choice. Our hope is that this delay gives us the best opportunity to provide that parental option. We hope the next two weeks provides answers, guidance, and a brighter educational experience for all Adair County students during the 2021-22 school year. 2021-08-11 19:11:47 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Education

The 2021 Communication and Media Studies group of Rogers Scholars got the opportunity to tour the new Campbellsville University Mass Communication building at 901 Meader St. in Campbellsville, and hear from journalism and public relations professionals. During their visit, the group heard from Benjy Hamm, assistant professor of mass communication. He gave two presentations; one on journalism and one on public relations, each running an hour long. Hamm's classes were interactive, giving students the opportunity to participate and learn in an immersive environment.

AG warns about student loan application scams By Elizabeth Kuhn Frankfort, KY - Attorney General Daniel Cameron and the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) joined forces today to alert Kentucky consumers about an identity theft scam involving student loan and financial aid applications. The Attorney General's Office and KHEAA have seen an uptick in scammers attempting to apply for student loans and financial aid using fraudulently obtained personal information, including names, addresses, and social security numbers. The scammer may attempt to obtain education loan funds and then spend the funds on other purposes. Loan identity theft scams can damage your credit history and potentially make a consumer liable for repaying the loan. Fortunately, no fraudulent student loans have been disbursed directly to scammers through KHEAA. There are numerous controls in place with KHEAA and its vendors and school partners to ensure no scammer is able to secure fraudulent funds. Immediately upon identification of attempted fraudulent activity regarding a consumer's personal information, KHEAA halts the application process and begins the process to remove the invalid entry from the consumer's credit report. "As technology evolves, it's becoming easier for scammers to carry out identity theft schemes and profit from the personal information of others, and student loan scams are frequently used to perpetrate this type of fraud," said Attorney General Cameron. "We urge consumers to closely and regularly monitor their credit reports, and report suspected identity theft involving student loans to our office immediately at ag.ky.gov/scams and to the KHEAA."
