I would like to extend a sincere thank you to my Fayette County School Board representative, Marion Key.

When news of the search for a new superintendent of schools came out, Marion agreed to sit down with several concerned parents in our community, hear our concerns, and answer questions as best she could. She was able to meet with us on a very short notice.

She explained the many possibilities involving public input, a contracted search firm, qualifications, and timeframe.

Marion was really good at taking her knowledge and putting it into laymen’s terms. She genuinely cares about the students of Fayette County, their families (present and future).

The selection of a new superintendent is one of the most important decisions in our county, affecting property values, our children, and families. The more dialogue we can have with our school board, the better.

Thank you, Ms. Key.
