The Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence’s Team on Teacher Effectiveness will meet for the first time today in Frankfort.  

The panel will examine teacher issues in an effort to come up with recommendations for the 2014 legislative session to improve the Commonwealth’s public schools.  They will discuss hot-button issues such as recruitment, training and retention.  The panel is led by Louisville attorney Franklin Jelsma.

Todd Hatton hails from Paducah, Kentucky, where he got into radio under the auspices of the late, great John Stewart of WKYX while a student at Paducah Community College. He also worked at WKMS in the reel-to-reel tape days of the early 1990s before running off first to San Francisco, then Orlando in search of something to do when he grew up. He received his MFA in Creative Writing at Murray State University. He vigorously resists adulthood and watches his wife, Angela Hatton, save the world one plastic bottle at a time.
