A new school year means a brand-new season of the Panthers Pawcast!

This week, Jeff is joined once again by Pikeville Independent Schools Superintendent David Trimble to discuss the exciting things happening across the district. From new programs and initiatives to the District Facilities Plan (DFP), Trimble provides an inside look at what's ahead for Pikeville students and staff.

Jeff and Trimble also take a closer look at the district's long-range facilities planning. They discuss the process behind the District Facilities Plan, what goes into evaluating school buildings, and the possibilities for future renovations or new construction to meet the needs of Pikeville Independent Schools. Whether that means improvements to existing schools or new facilities, this conversation explains how these important decisions are made and what the timeline could look like.

Whether you're a parent, student, alumnus, or community member, this episode provides a great look at the future of Pikeville Independent Schools and the continued commitment to providing the best educational experience possible for every Panther.
