  • SUPERINTENDENT: District is focused on success

    The state legislature is raising the bar for our students and we, as Oldham County Schools, support this effort. 

    When the state enacted Senate Bill 1 in 2009 it called for the immediate adoption of new academic standards that are more challenging and focused on readying students for college and 21st century career skills.

  • SUPERINTENDENT: Oldham students, teachers excel

  • LETTER: Does health department’s addition bring added services?

    To the editor:
    I am wondering if someone could specifically state all that the Oldham County Health Department does for our area in order to justify the large addition to the facility on Commerce Parkway.
    Our mayor, Bill Lammlein, is looking for tax money to pay down the loan on the land in Oldham Reserve, however, I haven’t seen anything about where the money is coming from in order to enlarge the health department, nor what additional services they will be providing.

  • PUBLISHER: Community is more than a word

    Community is a word too often thrown around without much thought to its meaning in regard to the human element it connects.

    It seems to me that the rest of the fast-moving “big world” defines community as a thing of lore or of some black and white rerun of a fictional Mayberry.

  • LETTER: ‘Massie acts as if he already has the job’

    To the editor:
    On Nov. 6, the now-vacant 4th District Congressional seat previously held by Congressman Geoff Davis will be on the ballot twice – once to fill the remainder of U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis’ term, and again for the next full congressional term.
    There is much discussion in the media about apathy and disinterest among voters, and the best way to engage them in the upcoming election is to offer opportunities to attend and participate in a live debate on the issues, particularly in an open seat where little or nothing is known about either candidate.
