FRANKFORT, KY (July 10, 2024)—The co-chairs of the Legislative Research Commission (LRC) are pleased to announce the appointment of Russ Tilford of the Lyon County Schools to the Local Superintendents Advisory Council (LSAC). Pending ratification by the LRC, his term will begin on August 1.
The LSAC advises the chief state school officer and the Kentucky Board of Education (KBE) on developing administrative regulations and education policies. Before seeking approval from the KBE, the chief state school officer must present all proposed regulations and policies to the LSAC for review.
The council includes 11 LRC-appointed members, one member to represent each state Supreme Court district and four at-large members. Tilford will serve as a member-at-large.
Sen. Jason Howell, R-Murray, congratulated Tilford on his appointment and noted his dedication to improving educational standards and oversight.
“Russ’s appointment to the LSAC highlights his commitment to advancing education in Kentucky, particularly in our region,” said Howell. “I have had the privilege of working with Russ for a number of years, and his experience and passion for enhancing educational outcomes will greatly benefit the council.”
