Statement by Governor Beshear on Bob Sexton
KENTUCKY...
“Jane and I were very sad to learn of Bob Sexton's passing. I have known Bob for years, and working with him on the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence gave me the opportunity to see firsthand how deeply he valued Kentucky and how committed he was to improving education for all our students. His passing leaves an enormous void in our state.
Many Kentuckians may not realize the revolutionary impact Bob had on shaping our state's education practices, but it is not an exaggeration to say that Bob Sexton has influenced and enriched the education experience for generations of students. Our thoughts and prayers remain with his wife Pam and their family.
The most fitting memorial to Bob Sexton will be for us to continue to build on the enduring legacy of quality education he has left us.”
