“Covington Independent Public Schools”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The first tuition-free school in Covington opened in 1825 in a log cabin with one teacher and 20 students. This and other early public schools were supervised by five appointed "school visitors". The Covington City Charter of 1850 replaced the school visitors with a board of trustees to govern the city's school system, a board of examiners to administer qualifying examinations to teachers, and a school superintendent. The charter also called for a tax-supported, tuition-free high school. Covington High School opened in 1853 as the first of its kind in Kentucky. The school system's first brick school opened the following year, and its first kindergartens opened in 1892.^[4]

Covington truant officers began enforcing school attendance in 1904, four years before compulsory education became law throughout Kentucky. As Covington annexed Latonia and Rosedale in 1909 and West Covington in 1916, the Covington Board of Education absorbed those communities' schools. The school board was reorganized in 1912 to consist of five members elected by popular vote.^[4]

The district's first school for African Americans opened in 1876 in a Methodist church on Madison Avenue. In 1932, a central elementary school for African Americans opened as Lincoln–Grant School, colocated with a new high school named William Grant High School. Integration began in earnest in 1959. William Grant High School closed in 1965 upon the integration of Holmes High School, while Lincoln–Grant School became integrated as the 12th District School in 1967. The district completed integration in the 1970s with involvement from the federal Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.^[5]

By 1988, Covington Independent Public Schools had become the largest independent school district in Kentucky. Enrollment peaked at about 6,000 students before declining with the city's population.^[4]
