Hopkinsville, KY – Three years ago, Christian County School District was among the poorest performing in Kentucky according to test data. But with the hiring of Superintendent Brady Link in 2008, the district began a revisioning process. In the past year, school leaders have seen results: higher test scores, attendance, and graduation rates, and lower drop-out rates. They have also implemented new programs to benefit students, including in-school dental examinations, and Chinese, Spanish, and Japanese classes for elementary students. Angela Hatton speaks with Superintendent Link about the achievements made, and the work ahead.
