Free ACT Retake Day for KY public school students By Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear has announced that incoming Kentucky high school seniors who have previously taken the ACT will be eligible to take the test a second time for free during a statewide ACT retake day in the Fall of 2022. The announcement follows national data showing students are more likely to increase their score by retaking the test a second time. In addition to boosted scores, the ACT retake opportunity is expected to increase the number of students pursuing a post-secondary education. "The cost of taking the ACT can be a barrier for many of our students, especially if they want to take it a second time to improve their scores," said Kentucky Department of Education Commissioner Jason E. Glass. "This is a great opportunity for those who choose to take part and we appreciate Gov. Beshear making this a priority for Kentucky students." The date of the free retake day will be designated by the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) in the Fall of 2022. More information on the date and locations will be provided to local school districts in the coming months.

Carol Perkins: Thrifting Previous Column: Don't Let The Old Woman In By Carol Perkins A friend and I were talking recently about going thrifting. Spending a day browsing through other people's discards is thrilling because I never know what I might find. I have a beautiful vase I bought for three dollars! Thrift stores and yard sales have decreased the stigma of wearing other people's clothes. Consignment shops and eBay (and all the other sites) are popular, and online clothing auctions in demand. If I find a bargain, I love to tell it. My grandchildren love to go "thrifting." When I am in Austin, Eme knows all the good places. When she comes here, we hit those in Glasgow and Bowling Green. She picks out things for her brothers, too, when they aren't with us. Times have changed from the brand name rage. When I was young, giving clothes to other people was a touchy situation.
