The ALPS program has the potential to be a game changer in the district! m.facebook.com/story.php?sto… -#BearcatProud

I hope everyone had a great time exercising their right to vote today! It’s special to get to share that experience with your kids as well. I look forward to continuing to work with everyone - new and “experienced” alike - to ensure a great future for public education in KY!

Had a great time today at the @Lowes Grand Opening in Walton with the Walton Verona High School Band, fellow board member @heather41092 and our superintendent @DrDylanSmith

Gaining a bit more perspective on the financial aspects of managing school districts on this beautiful morning. Huge thanks to the panel members (Chris Cook, Terrie Morgan, Chris McIntyre) who spent time providing their insights and perspectives #KSBAsummer2026

Brushing up on local accountability models with @All_in_KY - thankful to have an active and engaged commissioner of education, who’s proactively “in the trenches” and presenting to School Board members at #KSBAsummer2026

House Bill 1 opts Kentucky into a new federal tax-credit program for K-12 students. Starting next year taxpayers may donate up to $1700 per year to various “Scholarship-Granting” organizations and receive an equal amount back in the form of a federal tax credit. #KSBAsummer2026

Learning about important changes/updates to local school board taxing authority. #KSBAsummer2026

Getting an intensive and informative debrief on the legislative state of affairs in KY from the 2026 Kentucky General Assembly - covering board policy implications, federal policy developments and recent Open Meetings Act/Open Records Act decisions. #KSBAsummer2026

Tremendous and productive meeting with commissioner Fletcher @All_in_KY, Jennifer Stafford, Shara Savage and my fellow LSBMAC team members. I truly appreciate that @KyDeptofEd takes time to engage so deeply at these local school board member advisory meetings #KSBAsummer2026

Blessed and thankful to be a part of this team!

Kicking off the morning at the KSBA Summer Leadership Institute, learning about leading with purpose with Michelle Gross, 2026 Teacher of the year. Michelle reminds us to reflect on our why - remember what brought you to this moment of service. #KSBAsummer26

Learning to look at board service through the lens of trust this morning. The 8 C’s of “the pillars of trust” ….not to be confused with the 5 D’s of Dodgeball… are Clarity, Compassion, Character, Competence, Commitment, Connection, Contribution, & Consistency. #COSSBA26

Addressing the elephant in the room with @drleepritzl. This has been a fun, interactive, and engaging session to close out the day learning about Toxic traits/people and how we can resolve these issues through self reflection and focussed, thoughtful questioning. #COSSBA26

Volunteering is often a thankless job……but every now and then, you get a cookie! :-D I had a fantastic time yesterday volunteering at the registration/information desk at #COSSBA26 Thanks for the Cookie

The multi-talented Ravi Hutheesing performed an impromptu rendition of his original song “Sunflower in the Shade” to close out his talk at #COSSBA26

The future requires the skills and abilities needed to pivot multiple times - today’s emerging generation will live longer and need to pivot multiple times throughout their lives in order to be successful. Failing early and often is a great key which unlocks learning! #COSSBA26

School doesn’t have to be everything for everyone, but it needs to offer something for everyone - Ravi Hutheesing Maintaining a myriad of programs such as the arts, co-op, and trades programs are critical steps. #COSSBA26

Inspiring curiosity, nurturing talent and provoking critical thinking leads to robust cultural competence - Ravi Hutheesing #COSSBA26

We’re all guilty of a few of these, and your bias can definitely change depending on your perspective and the situation. It’s a good reminder to pause, reflect & challenge your perspectives before making assumptions or important decisions that impact the district #COSSBA26

Love that a presenter is discussing the Dunning-Kruger effect at #COSSBA26. It’s great to have honest conversations about common biases and how those can influence your perspective!
