It might be important to give legislative context before we get into the correct context.

So for years, Kentucky had a model that stated all curriculum decisions were made by SBT and recently was with Senate Bill one and co-chair Tiffany talked about this earlier.

That now goes to the superintendent.

So without Senate Bill one, SB nine would be very, very difficult to implement.

So now now your superintendent can say we're going to do letters training, we're going to do this, this type of approach.

System wide.

And so, you know, if a kid and a lot of these kids that are having problems are transient.

Right.

So if they go from one school to the next, they would have different curriculums.

So another part of SB SB nine is there will be that consistency.

With with Senate Bill 156 this year we changed one word May to.

Right.

And now it says and those are big difference a big difference in those two words.

Mm hmm.

And it now says that the superintendent shall select a common curriculum for the district Tom, and evidence based curriculum.

And they've got to go through KDE on which curriculums they can choose from.

So we're getting it's like the program in JCP is so that that, that subtle little change.

And I think a lot of what's happened is districts have invested in curriculum and I understand now that we're making this change.

They may have to they may have to shift to make some new investments.

But I think it's essential for going to be successful in this.

I do want to add that I'm so thankful that we were able to highlight this space specifically because, you know, the professional learning is the first step and it's the foundation.

But teachers will feel that level of frustration if they go back to classrooms and do not have a high quality instructional resource.

And so what we've tried to do is signal quality around validity and reliability and and what we would encourage superintendents to select and so that we have a consumer guide that's available on k y standards dot org and, you know, we are so excited to see the progress that districts make.

And, and certainly Jefferson County is not the only one who's made that decision, but looking at that a common resource from K eight and that students can have even just common language across grade levels in that vertical band.

There's going to be so much power there and I'm very excited just to see the shifts in instruction as a result of implementation of those high quality resources.

So is.

It our each each one of those.

Districts getting specific funding?

So we have some grant funding.

There's not in the state level budget, there's not dedicated funding to the purchase of instructional resources there that hasn't been in place for some time.

But we do have grant opportunities and, you know, that won't fix everything, but we want to provide opportunities for districts to be able to utilize those funds to make purchases so that they will see an increase in their student outcomes within that space.

It's really the the process has been that I have kind of saying the trend has been that our teachers are participating in letters.

They're having these epiphanies of, hmm, this MA instruction and my resources do not match the learning that I'm getting in the research that I'm getting here.

So then they reach out to us and it's like, What do I do next?

And that's when we have been able to have a lot of phenomenal conversations with our districts excuse me, with our educators superintendents, and point them to those those resources that we have, that reading and writing, consumer guide and all of those things to help them make decisions and and purchase high quality instructional resources.

Because really having that good I think it was mentioned earlier, good tier one, you know, common comprehensive reading instruction program makes a lot of difference in the classroom.

And for students and.
