Catching up on the #KYed news from today:

1. The Kentucky Board of Education is moving forward with four candidates in its hunt for a new commissioner.

We will likely know the names of the finalists before the Fourth of July weekend.
2. @JCPSSuper held a briefing and said the district is still considering its reopening options.

If JCPS goes back to NTI, he says the district wants to move toward more live-instruction (aka "synchronous"). Internet access still a major problem, though.
3. Just two people spoke at a public hearing about new elementary school proposed at 18th and West Broadway.

One, the librarian at Wheatley Elementary, said she wants to make sure that if there is a shiny, new school, her students get to enroll there.
