As we wind down to the end of another school year, I want to share how grateful I am to each and every one of you because of what you do for our kids every day. From the teachers in our classrooms to the 16th District PTA to our bus drivers to our business leaders, etc., etc., we are truly blessed in Fayette County!

We have so much to celebrate, as you can see in the newsletter below, and I must say it has been a banner year. Our kids are performing at the highest levels ever, and they are bringing state and national honors home to Lexington.

We also are lucky to have such an outstanding group of Board of Education members, who have made every decision based on what is right for our kids – no exceptions! Our leaders are among the best, and our schools are moving forward.

The time has come to upgrade our facilities, and that process has begun. We will open three new schools this fall and start five renovation projects. We could not do this without the support of this community. One of our principals, who has worked in Fayette County for more than 25 years, said the support we are now receiving is unprecedented!

As I say thanks to each of you, I say it on behalf of our 35,000 kids. They are the beneficiaries of your hard work and support. Thank you!
