The 800 Number Anne told about the toll free number to the Appalachian Center at the University of Kentucky for issues concerning the committee or the Kentucky Appalachian Advisory Council. The April Meeting Anne told the group about the Kentucky Appalachian Advisory Council meeting that was to be on April 26th in Hazard in conjunction with the Eastern Kentucky Leadership Conference. This would be an important meeting, because the governor of Kentucky would be meeting with the Council. Joint Project by Justice and Education Committees Marco explained that the Justice Committee needs an education program on the justice system to be used in the schools. He said lawyers know about it but don't know how to teach it.
Teachers are willing to teach, but what.
The natural course would be for the two committees to join forces to formulate a civics curriculum. After considerable discussion, it was decided that a curriculum should be developed so that education of the justice system and civics in general be integrated with existing curricula or courses. It was also decided that such a curriculum needs to be required in public education and that Kentucky's Commissioner of Education needs to be brought into the conversation.
