KSBA is pleased to invite nominations of outstanding education leaders and advocates for recognition during the association’s 77thannual conference, Feb. 1-3 in Louisville. This is a unique opportunity to honor a major supporter of your school system.
KSBA Friend of Education Award
This will mark the 24th presentation of the KSBA Friend of Education Award. One award will be presented to an individual, an organization, a business or a corporation in recognition of support for public education in your home community as well as across the state. Board members and superintendents may not be nominated for this recognition. Nominations may come from any district that has not had a nominee selected for the award in 10 years. Selection is by a statewide panel of education leaders.
Warren Proudfoot Outstanding School Board Member Award
This tribute is co-sponsored by the Kentucky PTA and KSBA. Nomination is open to any current board member who has at least five years’ service. This marks the 22nd award presented in memory of the late Dr. Proudfoot, a former KSBA president and Rowan County school board member. Nominations for this award go to the Kentucky PTA and the selection is made by that organization’s board of directors.
F. L. Dupree Outstanding Superintendent Award
KSBA and the family of the late F. L. Dupree, a local school board member and public education advocate, jointly present this honor. To be eligible, a superintendent must have held the current post since July 1, 2008. This will mark the 43rd presentation of the Dupree Award. Nominations are screened by one panel of Dupree past recipients, and then a final selection is made by a different panel of Dupree honorees.
The nomination deadline for each of these honors is Thursday, Nov. 1.
The nomination documents may be accessed online here http://www.ksba.org/AnnualConferenceEducationAwards.aspx. A mailing of the documents is on the way to all board members and superintendents.
