Kentucky Board Approves Innovation Designations for Covington Schools

The Kentucky Board of Education has granted "school of innovation" designations to all schools in the Covington Independent School District. This allows the district to participate in a pilot project, securing $2.5 million in state funding for the 2026-2027 fiscal year, with potential for additional private funds. The decision includes waivers for school-based decision-making councils and calendar rules, aiming to foster innovative educational approaches.
