Welcome to Kentucky Family Policy
This blog is dedicated to examining issues facing the Commonwealth of Kentucky and providing a nonpartisan, family perspective on public policy making. We hope to provide a forum for Kentuckians to review and discuss current legislative actions and the issues such actions are attempting to address. The opinions expressed herein belong solely to the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the University of Kentucky, its affiliates, or its representatives.
What the authors of this blog will contribute:
1) Summarize current state, national, and international research related to topics relevant to current legilative actions.
2) Describe Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service programs and activities currently addressing issues related to legilative actions in the various counties.
3) Provide expert commentaries via podcasts and videocasts on issues relevant to current legilative actions.
Please see "Priority Bills" section on the right for a short list of the most current legislative actions relevant to the family focus of this blog
In the fourth year of the merger between Mercer County and Harrodsburg Independent Schools, community healing is still ongoing. In a special event with over 350 attendees, local youth called attention to that with a specially selected poetry reading from Maya Angelou’s work and a performance by the Titan Steppers. The community was challenged to see beyond skin color and to shift the focus to service of others. More than forty “bags of love” were constructed as part of the Martin Luther King Day community service project through the efforts of Cooperative Extension Master Clothing Volunteers. These donated personal-care items will support 20 children removed from their homes through the Division for Protection and Permanency, enough for one year.
