Paducah Public Schools

Three years ago today we broke ground for the Paducah Innovation Hub! As we remember that beginning, we are grateful for the vision and effort of our community leaders, our city, county, and state leaders, and every laborer and craftsman who used their talents to build a building that is both beautiful and useful.

Dear Paducah Community members, You are invited to click the link below to complete a survey of the Paducah Public School District. The survey was created by the University of Kentucky and Civil Rights Institute for community members. The goal of the survey is to continue to gather information on how to better serve students from the community’s perspective. The survey is anonymous, and no names are needed to complete the paper or online copy. There is also a paper copy of the survey that can be completed as well. We are in the process of providing five lockbox locations in the community where paper surveys can be submitted. We will have those locations available as soon as possible if you want to complete a paper survey. https://uky.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3Isgnv85tp93ejI
