Muhlenberg County Public Schools

STACIE JONES, PRINCIPAL AT GREENVILLE ELEMENTARY, SELECTED AS A MEMBER OF THE 2023 COHORT OF KENTUCKY WOMEN IN EDUCATION LEADERSHIP The School Leaders Association, KASA, has recently announced the 2023 cohort of Kentucky Women in Education Leadership (KWEL). The group is comprised of 38 school leaders who were selected through a competitive application process based on specific leadership criteria. Each leader brings a myriad of educational experiences, talent, and the desire to ensure Kentucky’s children receive a world-class education. Cohort members, along with some of the state’s top female executive educators, will gather January 25-26, 2023, at the Brown Hotel in Louisville for an induction ceremony and leadership forum. KWEL is a KASA leadership development program designed to strengthen and advance the careers of women working in P-12 public education. “Preparation is everything,” said KASA Executive Director Dr. Rhonda Caldwell. “The KWEL program provides a framework to support and guide cohort members to chart their path to high level executive positions within Kentucky’s public schools. The new cohort members join 168 female colleagues who are reimagining education today. They are the trailblazers who are identifying barriers to equity and excellence for every student for a stronger, healthier Kentucky.” KASA, The School Leaders Association, is the largest school administrator group in Kentucky, representing more than 3,300 education leaders across the commonwealth. Formed in 1969, KASA connects education leaders to policymakers, legislators, and other interest groups, and provides numerous benefits and services to Kentucky’s school administrators. Congratulations, Mrs. Jones!
