Prof. A.W. Reed explains Work Read Community to School Board 2012-02-23 - 1204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. One of the highlights of the Tuesday, February 21, 2012 meeting of the Adair County School Board was a brief summary of Columbia/Adair County's efforts to obtain the prestigious Work-Ready Community designation by the C/AC Work Ready Community Chair, Professor A.W. Reed. While the concept raised huge challenges for public education and Adair County flagship economic engine, higher education, the idea was well received by the board and teachers in the gallery. Already, three counties in Kentucky, Warren, Daviess, and Woodford Counties have won the honor, and neighboring Russell County, the only other county in Kentucky to gain in Work Ready status, is designated a Work Ready Community in Progress, and appears likely to be only the fourth county in Kentucky to receive the honor in just a few months.
