Why CJPECA

Perspective earned inside public education.

CJPECA was founded by Casey Jaynes to bring clarity, experience, and practical judgment to conversations about Kentucky schools. After serving as a teacher, principal, superintendent, and regional education leader, Casey understands both the promise of public education and the daily realities that shape district decisions.

That experience matters. CJPECA helps leaders, communities, policymakers, and partners move beyond assumptions—toward accurate information, workable solutions, and a stronger future for Kentucky students.
