Reorganization Of Education Department
KENTUCKY...
A reorganization of the education department that would cut four top administrative positions is being proposed. Kentucky Education Commissioner Terry Holliday said in a statement Thursday that the reorganization is designed to make the agency more efficient and help it provide services more effectively. Department spokeswoman Lisa Gross said the move was spurred by budget cuts. In addition, the newspaper reports Holliday fired two other administrators last week as part of the reorganization. The General Assembly cut funding by 3.5 percent in 2010-11 for the Department of Education and other state agencies.
