First month student enrollment exceeds projection

Data for the first month of the school year showed 57 more students enrolling in Oldham County schools than projected. Enrollment at elementary and middle schools is slightly down this year compared to last year, but high school enrollment is up.

Michael Williams, director of pupil personnel, said the increase in high school enrollment is due to the size of this year's ninth grade class.

Tucked in the Oldham County Schools Arts Center is a valuable resource for county residents: the Adult Education Center.

The center served over 500 people last year through its adult and community education programs, and director Suzette Ertel hopes those numbers continue to grow.

Two Oldham County high schools have three months to make a plan addressing Title IX.
 On July 27, the Oldham County Public School System was sent a monitoring letter from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights in response to reports submitted by the school district and General Counsel Anne Coorssen.

The University of Louisville has named Blake Haselton as interim dean of the College of Education and Human Development, effective immediately and continuing through 2014.
 
Haselton has served as the college's interim dean since 2008 while the university conducted a search to fill the post.
