Nominations sought to fill vacancies on KASA Board of Directors
There is a technical issue with the Mountain Region ballot - we are correcting it and will reissue the ballot no later than tomorrow morning.
KASA is seeking to fill vacancies on the KASA Board of Directors representing the following regions:
Bluegrass Region - Mr. Billy Parker, superintendent in Scott County, served a three-year term that concluded July 31, 2022.
Lake Cumberland Region – Ms. Carol Cravens, special education director, served as the region’s board representative until recently when she assumed the role of director of special education of the Marion County Schools. Given she is no longer part of the region, she is not eligible to serve.
