Auditor Ball Says Kentucky’s Education Department Needs Major Improvements

  • On July 1, 2025, Kentucky Auditor Allison Ball released a special examination revealing widespread deficiencies across the Kentucky Department of Education.
  • House Bill 825 mandated the audit, which examined KDE activities from July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2024, with the APA collaborating with PCG Consulting Group on a nearly 500-page review.
  • Data reveal KDE let over $250 million in SEEK funds lapse, the DEI proficiency gap between white and Black students persisted, and the Supreme Court ruled the preschool funding system unconstitutional.
  • Fletcher stated KDE will use the report to improve; Osborne and Lewis pledged to address identified concerns collaboratively.
  • Kentucky lawmakers plan to use Auditor Ball's findings to shape legislation next session, requiring KDE to implement reforms for measurable improvement.
