Somerset — The success of Pulaski County schools was reflected recently in the naming of one of its leaders to the largest organization of elected officials in Kentucky.
Pulaski County Board of Education member Bill White will serve a three-year term on the Kentucky School Boards Association (KSBA) board. He was elected at the KSBA annual conference Jan. 31 in Louisville.
A graduate of Berea College, White has served on the Pulaski County board since 2003, and has been a part of the education system since 1965. A farmer and retired educator who worked both as teacher and principal, he previously served on the KSBA board from 2008-2008 as chairman for school boards in the association's Middle Cumberland region.
“(The KSBA board) does a lot for school boards throughout state,” said White. “They help develop guidelines for policy books and update those regularly to keep current with the legislative action that been taken.”
He added that the KSBA board also assists with technology and contacting legislative bodies.
Established in 1936, the nearly 900-member KSBA assists school districts and local boards of education in all 174 public school systems by providing training, consultation, advocacy and information about public education in Kentucky. The 27-member KSBA Board of Directors oversees the association's services and goals.
“I hope I can do some good,” said White. “I want to contribute and make it a better organization. That’s what I’m striving for.”
