Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), enacted in the 2009 Kentucky General Assembly, required a new public school assessment program beginning in the 2011-12 school year.
These assessments were collectively named the Kentucky Performance Rating for Educational Progress (K-PREP) tests.
Jamie Weddington was named superintendent of Lewis County Schools less than two days before the scores were released but is well acquainted with the efforts of all the schools in the district and the work that has gone into improving test scores here.
