FES Parents/Guardians,

Good afternoon.

This afternoon, I was informed that many of our students who attended the field trip to Evans Orchard did not receive lunch as planned due to an unfortunate mix-up with the meals that were sent on the trip.

Our Food and Nutrition staff is heartbroken that this happened. As students return to campus this afternoon, our cafeteria staff has meals prepared and ready for them. I want to emphasize that our Food and Nutrition staff does an outstanding job each day, going above and beyond to ensure that our students receive nutritious, quality meals. Unfortunately, mistakes happen, and I know how much our staff cares about the students they serve.

I sincerely apologize to our students and families for this situation. We recognize the importance of ensuring that every student has a meal, whether they are in the classroom or participating in a field trip. We will review what happened to help prevent a similar situation from occurring in the future.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. You can contact me directly at the District Office by calling 606-845-5851 or via email at brian.creasman@fleming.kyschools.us.

Our Journey Continues...

Dear Fleming Countians,

Today, the Kentucky Department of Education released the 2025-2026 Kentucky School Report Cards, providing a statewide look at student achievement. For Fleming County Schools, this is an opportunity to recognize our successes, examine where improvement is needed, and reflect on our work. We have much to be proud of, thanks to our students, educators, staff, families, and community. Still, we have work ahead, particularly in Reading, Math, and Writing. Our focus remains on every student growing, mastering grade-level expectations, and preparing for success.

As we review these results, I believe it is important to understand what state assessments tell us, and what they do not. Each spring, students take assessments measuring their understanding of academic standards. The results identify strengths and areas needing additional support. We use them to improve teaching and learning.

However, state test scores represent one data point, reflecting performance during a short testing window in May. Think about everything students learn between August and May. The progress they make in reading, the writing they produce, the mathematics they apply, and the problems they solve. Much of that learning, particularly the ability to apply knowledge in meaningful situations, cannot be fully captured through one assessment. State testing matters. But there is more to learning than what can be measured over a few days in May.

That belief led Fleming County Schools to introduce our local accountability system, the Measures of Quality, in January 2022. We wanted families and our community to see a more complete picture of student learning throughout the year, rather than waiting until fall for the previous spring's results. More importantly, we wanted to understand what students can actually do with what they learn, not simply whether they can select the correct answer on a test.

Our Measures of Quality emphasize three areas: Growth, Mastery, and Readiness. Growth examines progress, regardless of where students begin. Mastery focuses on whether students understand and can demonstrate grade-level expectations. Readiness examines whether they can apply learning, solve problems, and prepare for future opportunities. All three matter. A student may make tremendous growth but still need support reaching grade-level expectations. Another may meet expectations but need opportunities to extend and apply learning. Our responsibility is to recognize both and respond accordingly.

Students also deserve opportunities to demonstrate learning beyond the subjects measured on state assessments. Throughout the year, they engage in authentic writing, interdisciplinary learning, performance assessments, and real-world problem-solving. Whether investigating a scientific question, explaining a mathematical concept, or developing a solution to a community challenge, these experiences provide evidence of what students know and can do. They also help teachers determine where additional support is needed.

This year, we are introducing Vibrancy, Measures of Quality 5.0, the next evolution of our local accountability system. Vibrancy strengthens our focus on students' daily learning experiences and the conditions that contribute to success. If we want better outcomes, we must examine what happens throughout the learning process, not simply the results. Are students thinking deeply? Applying their knowledge? Receiving meaningful feedback? Demonstrating Growth, Mastery, and Readiness? Through quarterly reporting, we will make our progress, challenges, and opportunities for improvement more visible to families and our community.

Let me be clear. None of this diminishes the importance of Kentucky's state assessments or our responsibility to ensure students meet grade-level expectations. Reading matters. Math matters. Writing matters. We must strengthen these foundational skills, address achievement gaps, and provide the support every student needs. State assessment results remain important, but they cannot tell the whole story.

Ultimately, we are not choosing between state and local accountability. We need both. State assessments provide important information about academic achievement, while our local measures help us understand Growth, Mastery, and Readiness throughout the year. Together, they help us ask better questions, make informed decisions, and focus on what matters most. Our community deserves to know not only how students performed in May, but how they are growing and what they can actually do with their learning.

Thank you for your continued support of Fleming County Schools. We have successes to celebrate, challenges to address, and important work ahead. Our commitment remains focused on meaningful learning experiences, high expectations, and opportunities for every student to succeed, not simply on an assessment, but in school, in our community, and throughout life.

Our Journey Continues...
