Kentucky’s public colleges and universities reported higher enrollment and improved graduation rates for the 2023–24 school year, according to the state education council’s progress report.

Kentucky's automatic Medicaid renewal for children will end July 1; parents must check their mail & fill out renewal forms to keep coverage.
