One of the bills, House Bill 32, let schools hire classified employees without high school diplomas.
If the district helps them get that diploma, it sponsored by Representative Kevin Jackson of Bowling Green, who says this will help ease a worker shortage in Kentucky's schools.
I just called back to warn County about two months ago when I started running this bill, and I asked our H.R.
director, how many classified positions do we have open at this time?
He said, 100.
We have 100 jobs open cooks, custodians, bus drivers, aides, classroom aides.
That's just in one school system out of 171.
We had 100 open classified jobs.
So we've got to do something to help our school systems fill these jobs across the state of Kentucky.
