FRANKFORT, KY (July 11, 2024)The following is a statement from Sen. Mike Nemes, R-Shepherdsville, following the selection of the civilian members to the Efficient and Effective School District Governance Task Force, to which he is co-chair.

“As co-chair of this special task force, I applaud the community members who have committed to serving on this special task force and helping Kentucky’s largest school district be more successful in educating children. 

“Our Legislative Research Commission cast a wide, inclusive net and remains diligent in the selection process. LRC provided ample opportunity and time for qualified candidates to be nominated, and the response was overwhelming. Our non-partisan staff carefully considered each nominee before recommending them to the co-chairs.

“I am excited about the conversation beginning on Monday, July 15. 

“To those who tossed their name in the hat and were not selected or unable to fulfill the commitment to the meetings, I encourage you to stay engaged as we gather information and create a complete picture of the landscape in our largest school district.”
