More than 250 school employees from Adair County were trained in multi-cultural education last month as part of KEA’s efforts to address the needs of educators and school systems across the Commonwealth. KEA member Melanie Trowel conducted the training; Melanie was KEA’s 2020 Teacher of the Year and is a member of the Fayette County Education Association.
