Rev. Dr. Anthony Everett recently wrote an op-ed that was picked up by the Lexington Times. In this op-ed, Dr. Everett discusses the issues of inequity among schools in Fayette County and beyond throughout all of Kentucky. Dr. Everett’s op-ed was written soon after he participated in the Rose Revival, “hosted by the Kentucky Student Voice Team (KSVT), a group of young people whose mission is to co-create more just democratic Kentucky schools and communities as education research, policy, and storytelling partners.”
Dr. Everett writes, “Our school leadership must embrace a multi-layered, diverse perspective on addressing issues in our district. In our majority students of color district, our leaders must maintain equity as their foremost value. Leadership must champion resources, support, and policies needed for our students to obtain equity in the schools and a world-class education, and for our district to become the model K-12 system it can be.”
