Who We Are

The EducateNKY Board launched in March 2023, and we are focused on the region encompassing Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties. EducateNKY is a “learning organization” – seeking to learn before acting. We are looking to build collaboration that will lead to public/private partnerships. These partnerships will lead to more innovation, expanded grant opportunities, expanded business engagement, and more meaningful collaborations with public schools, private schools, and community agencies to expand educational opportunities and services to students and their families. This will be done in a variety of ways without replicating the good work already occurring in our region.

To best understand this complex matter, the Board contracted with a national firm to complete a thorough Landscape Assessment throughout the fall/winter of 2023/24. This comprehensive analysis included a “deep dive” of existing data, interviews with 200+ stakeholders and development of key trends and findings. This report has been shared with our Advisory Council – and now Work Team members. Watch video presentation here. Work Teams include leaders and advocates from educational institutions, community nonprofits, government institutions, community organizations, and the business community who are now meeting to address priority needs identified and opportunities for potential solutions. This work will support the development of an EducateNKY Strategic Plan by summer 2024.
