Eligibility
Non-administrative
staff, or volunteers are eligible for the Fred Award. This
includes classified support staff, students, parents, community
volunteers, etc.
Award nominees should possess a trademark spirit of
service, innovation and commitment to others in a way that positively
impacts the lives of those in the school community.
Nominees who received this award within the last ten years are ineligible to be nominated a second time. They, however, may be nominated for other KASA Awards.
Award Selection, Notification & Recognition

finalists will be selected and announced in April 2022 by a statewide
judging panel comprised of KASA member representatives.

district each day. Footage will be compiled into a short video, shown at

announced. The video will also be used on KASA’s website, and the
recipient will be recognized in KASA’s award publications and other
media.
