Adair School District hosts statewide educational webcast Eyes of Commonwealth's educators focused on Columbia. Commissioner David Couch, moderator, noted the innovations on the Adair County campus. He notes Kentucky's rise near the top in the nation - at No. 5. You don't have to be a big district to be a great one - Supt. Alan W. Reed By Shamarie Harper Claiborne Director of Media Relations, Adair County Schools District Tuesday, the Adair County Schools were honored to host the August broadcast of Kentucky's K-12 Education Technology Webcast at Adair County Primary Center. Department of Education staff from the Office of Knowledge, Information, and Data Services (KIDS) included: David Couch, Associate Commissioner of Education Technology; Dede Conner, Division of Enterprise Data Director; Phil Coleman, Division of Operations and Services Director; Mike Leadingham, Division of Engineering and Management Director; Judy Evans, Region 6 KETS Engineer; Chuck Austin, Office of Knowledge; Information and Data Services; Robert Hackworth, Division of Engineering and Management; Howard Keeter, Division of Engineering and Management; Andrew Liaupsin, Division of Operations and Services, Cameraman; and Laura Raganas, IT Academy Program Manager while Alan Reed, Superintendent; Carla Perkins, Technology Coordinator; and Floyd Burton, Board of Education, Chairman, represented Adair County Schools at the table. Commissioner, David Couch, presided over the informational webcast which is seen by 173 school districts across the state and discussed all the great things going on in the Adair County Schools. He talked with Superintendent Reed, Carla Perkins, and Floyd Burton about different things the KIDS staff were impressed with our district including all the innovative projects we have going on. While he was talking, my pride of being a staff member of Adair County Schools filled my heart. < Then the informational part of the webcast began which was interesting to hear. I learned a lot about new guide lines for technology within the state as well as advancements at the state level. I will just say this - it is exciting to be a part of such a great state and its education system. Probably my biggest surprise of the day is when Commissioner Couch discussed that Kentucky's Educational System is currently ranked 5th in the Nation. I think we are a great state system but had no idea, we were ranked that high. When Adair County Schools Technology Coordinator, Carla Perkins spoke about the experience she stated: "Today was a great day. I was proud to showcase Adair County Primary Center and some of the great things that are happening in our district with regard to technology. We have so many great things happening in our school district. It was nice to showcase some of these things to the Kentucky Department of Education's Office of Knowledge, Information, and Data Services (KIDS) staff and 173 other school districts in Kentucky via the webcast." While Superintendent Reed put the day in perspective when he stated: "You don't have to be a big district to be a great one!" And I concur one thousand percent!
