Dear Students, Parents, Guardians, Staff, and Community Members,

With the recent passage of Senate Bill 181 (2025), we’ll all be adjusting to some new requirements. While change can be a bit uncomfortable at first, the goal of this legislation is one we can all support: keeping our students safe and ensuring clear, transparent communication between teachers and students. This new law sets specific guidelines for how communication should happen in our schools. We understand the importance of these changes and are committed to following both the letter and the spirit of the law. That said, it will mean making some shifts in how we normally operate.

We’ve put together a plan to help guide this transition, and we encourage you to take a look at it on www.pulaski.net/sb181 You’ll also find helpful resources on this website to answer any questions you might have.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we work through these changes together. We’re grateful to be part of a community that puts students first.

Patrick Richardson,

Superintendent

Success spelled out with scrabble tiles

The Pulaski County School District is celebrating its remarkable performance with the recent release of state testing results. Superintendent Patrick Richardson noted, “All of our schools are among the highest-scoring in the state. Our whole community has so much to be proud of. Our students are learning well, working hard, and putting forth greater effort in their studies and on these important tests that tell us all how we’re doing as a school system. We have considerable support from parents and families, which makes a big difference. And I am especially grateful for our teachers and staff, who are dedicated to instructing, leading, and motivating our students, and who are too often underappreciated in our current political and social climate. Our teachers and staff are among the best in Kentucky.”

 

The Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) was administered in May, and scores for every public school in the state are now available to the public. Here’s how Pulaski County Schools stacked up against other districts:

--Elementary Schools: Top 6% – Ranked #11 of 182 districts

--Middle Schools: Top 13% – Ranked #23 of 182 districts

--High Schools: Top 12% – Ranked #22 of 178 districts
