Giant Steps for Kentucky Education?
• The aim of the bill
• Senate Bill 1, passed in 2009, requires
Kentucky to upgrade its standards for what
students will learn. Our new law says the
standards must be shorter, clearer, and better
focused on students being ready for college,
work, and global competition.

Statement from Henry County Schools
• Technology a must:
• with the implementation of No Child Left
Behind and specifically Senate Bill 1, in
Kentucky, using technology in our classrooms
is a must. Students of society today are more
tech-savvy and computer literate, so it goes
without saying, that in order to reach them,
we must speak their language--their “tech”
language. . . . Recently, our school computer
lab was updated with new computers and
since has seen a huge jump in usage. To take a
look at our new lab, click here for a peek:
