Celebrating School Board Appreciation Month
In honor of School Board Recognition Month, Superintendent Denise M. Griebel expressed her gratitude to the members of the Laurel County Board of Education for their dedication to students and staff.
"School board members contribute greatly to the community through their service on the Laurel County Board of Education. You're decision-makers responsible for maintaining strong effective budgetary oversight, high standards for employment, and a safe, well-managed set of school facilities. You serve with dedication and commitment, ensuring our schools, staff, students, etc., have the resources needed to do great things. So we appreciate each of you. Personally, I enjoy working with you, and I think together we can make the Laurel County school district a great place to work, learn, and be the best that we can be for our students, staff, and the community that we serve. So again, thank you for your dedication and your service!”
