Kentucky Education Commissioner Jason Glass Resigns, Accepts New Position

Kentucky Education Commissioner Dr. Jason Glass is stepping down from his position nearly a year before his contract expires to become associate vice president of teaching and learning at Western Michigan University. Glass, who faced criticism from Republican legislators for allegedly pushing a "woke" agenda, led the state's education department through the challenges of the pandemic and natural disasters while galvanizing support for a new vision of learning and teaching. The Kentucky Board of Education will hold a meeting in mid-August to determine next steps and appoint an interim commissioner.

"New Interim N.Y.P.D. Commissioner Appointed as Sewell Departs"

Edward Caban, the first deputy commissioner of the New York Police Department (NYPD) and an ally of Mayor Eric Adams, has been appointed as the interim head of the agency following the abrupt resignation of Keechant L. Sewell, the department's first Black and first female commissioner. Caban, a second-generation officer, will lead the NYPD while the mayor conducts a national search for a permanent successor. Caban's rise has been marked by disciplinary incidents, including instances of abusing his authority. The mayor has seen a wave of high-level officials leaving his administration, including his chief housing officer and social services commissioner.
