The Special Education Parent Involvement Survey is completed electronically.  To complete the survey go to www.kypso.org and click the link for either the English or Spanish version of the survey.

The survey is part of the KDE’s measurement of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) State Performance Plan (SPP) Indicator 8 and is a federal requirement. Of course, it is the parent’s choice to complete the survey, but every parent is encouraged to complete the survey.

The survey is housed at the Human Development Institute (HDI) at the University of Kentucky. HDI will analyze and report results. No identifying information will be collected or reported.  The results will be used to help the KDE and local school districts improve parent involvement.

Effective immediately all school grounds of the Ashland Independent Schools are closed to the public due to COVID-19 concerns.

The Ashland Independent School District Food Service Department will be providing meals during Non-Traditional Instructional Days (NTI). Breakfast and lunch will be provided at no cost to children and teens 18 years and under.  Meals will continue through Friday, April 3, 2020. We will NOT be serving meals during the week of Spring Break April 6^th – 10^th, 2020.  However, we will resume meal service on April 13^th – April 17^th at each school and mobile site. Meals will be available at the Ashland Exceptional Early Childhood Center, each elementary school, Ashland Middle School, and Ashland Blazer High School. We will utilize a “drive-through” system where parents can drive up and receive one meal per child.  The child must be present in the car in order to receive a meal.

On Monday evening, March 23rd, the Board of Education approved the the revised 19-20 Calendar. The last day for students will be May 20th.
