Christian County Public Schools facing diagnostic review

Christian County Public Schools will be undergoing a district-wide diagnostic review later this month as part of a two-year cycle including Christian County High School since it was deemed a priority school.

The Kentucky Department of Education has contracted with Advanced Ed, a well respected group responsible for accreditation to conduct the review.

The Christian County Board of Education tonight held a special-called meeting to discuss the matter with Chief Instructional Officer, Amy Wilcox explaining what the review will entail.

The diagnostic review is scheduled to take place Monday, February 25^th through Wednesday, February 27^th, who will then report the findings to K-D-E officials, who will then meet face to face with Christian County Public Schools Superintendent Mary Ann Gemmill to release the findings.

Mrs. Wilcox says the school district will be subject to review as long as Christian County High School or any school is deemed a persistently low achieving school.

Mrs. Wilcox also gave an overview about the school district’s revised graduation requirements.

In other business, school board members unanimously approved January 11^th as a Disaster Day for Lacy Elementary School and January 30^th for Pembroke Elementary School.
