Corbin Superintendent Dave Cox said signs designed by the Redhound Print Shop were given to each principal who was given discretion as to where to most appropriately display it. At Corbin Primary School, the sign has been placed in the foyer of the main entrance. The red letters are on the glass panel above the second set of doors leading into the school, where they may seen by those entering for class, or before visitors go into the office. \u201cWe have not heard a thing,\u201d Cox said when asked if there has any response from the public in favor or opposed to the signs. Whitley County Superintendent John Siler said his district wanted to do something uniform so it created signs displaying the Whitley County school crest and the words \u201cIn God We Trust\u201d written under it. This is inside an interior circle followed by an exterior circle that has the words \u201cWhitley County Schools\u201d written inside it. \u201cWe have it displayed at most of our schools in the foyer area as you first walk in,\u201d Siler added. Williamsburg Independent School Superintendent Tim Melton said his district will display the words, \u201cIn God We Trust\u201d in a frame that will be mounted in a picture frame on the wall near the front office. Melton said the sign, which hasn\u2019t been made yet, will probably be about 8\u20131\/2 inches by 11 inches. So far the district doesn\u2019t have the display up yet. Students don\u2019t return to class at Williamsburg until Monday. House Bill 46, sponsored by Rep Brandon Reed, R \u2013 Hodgenville, was passed in March. \u201cThere is no reason for us to be ashamed of our national motto; it is a vital part of our culture,\u201d Reed said when he prefiled the bill in August 2018. \u201cIn God We Trust\u201d was first placed on U.S. currency during the Civil War. President John F. Kennedy signed the law making it the national motto in 1962. Kentucky joined several other states, including Tennessee, in passing laws requiring public elementary and secondary schools to display the motto."}
