Something to Tweet About – The school system has added Twitter to its communication resources in a continued effort to share information effec-
tively and efficiently. Follow us @MCSisBest.

Andy Cora and Zack Blevins were 3rd and 4th in the region and will compete individually at the state level. (2) The MCHS Future Problem Solving

Bryana Shumate, Logan Darnell, and Taylor Bowman. Also advancing to regionals individually
- James Bowman, Science; Elizabeth Mynhier, in both
Language Arts and Composition; Cody Brentlinger, Social
Studies; Bryana Shumate, Arts/Humanities. (3) The MCHS
Mock Trial Team swept the championship of the 2013
University of Kentucky Wildcat Invitational last Saturday.
The MCHS Red Team won the title and the MCHS Blue
Team took second place in the tournament. (4) More than
40 parents and staff members attended a public forum last
Sunday to discuss safety and security in the schools. (5)
Students across the district celebrated the 100th day of
school on Monday, January 28th. (6) Network engineer
Brett Higgins was elected as the Region 5 Representative for the Kentucky Society for Technology in Education.
Student Attendance – Attendance was once again dismal across the district this week, with four of our schools posting attendance days below
90%. The good news is that the highest daily and weekly percentages were posted by Mt. Sterling Elementary, which had the lowest rates in the
district last week. MSE had a daily high of 94.27% and a weekly high of 92.52%.
Administrative Credentials Change - All Kentucky school principal preparation programs have recently moved to a 30-hour POST-Master’s re-
quirement. Current Level I credentials were likely earned via the completion of a Master’s level program. Current EPSB regulations state that all
coursework, including that required for Level II programs, for the Master’s level programs must be completed before JANUARY 31, 2014. Level I
credentials may only be renewed by completing the Level II program. It is to the advantage of all Level I administrative credential holders to com-
plete all Level II coursework (usually 6-9 credit hours, depending upon the university) as soon as possible and no later than January 2014. Comple-
tion of the Level II program will renew this credential, add up to five more years to the expiration date, and will prevent having to take the substan-
tially higher number of credit hours required by all of the newly approved post-Master’s preparation programs. After the January 31, 2014 dead-
line, universities will not be able to make the Level II recommendations without the completion of the new post-Master’s requirements. Level I
credential holders are urged to make plans now to complete the requirements for Level II.
