FCPS Superintendent to Hold Listening Sessions on UK Campus

LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 14, 2016) — Fayette County Public Schools Superintendent, Emmanuel “Manny” Caulk, is seeking input on the future direction of the school district. In partnership with the University of Kentucky Office of Community Engagement, Caulk is hosting two listening sessions this month for any and all UK employees with an opinion about the current state of the Fayette County Public Schools.

The superintendent’s “Listening, Learning and Leading” entry plan has included quantitative and qualitative data collection through school and program visits, one-on-one meetings, surveys, and an organizational and structural review of the district across 10 domains. External agencies also conducted curriculum and program audits in career and technical education, and the services provided for students with special needs, students identified as gifted and talented, and students learning English as a second language.

Caulk is holding feedback sessions for community members from across Fayette County to inform his recommendations for making sure that every student achieves his or her unlimited potential. Two listening sessions are being held specifically for UK employees:

• 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 16, in the Lexmark Room, 209 Main Building
• 1 p.m. Thursday, March 24, in the Lexmark Room, 209 Main Building

Please RSVP by email to rodney.creager@uky.edu or by phone at 859-257-7144 no later than March 15.
