Corbin superintendent named to superintendent advisory council

The co-chairs of the Legislative Research Commission (LRC) recently announced the appointment of Corbin Independent Schools Superintendent Dave Cox to the Local Superintendents Advisory Council (LSAC). Pending ratification by the LRC, his term will begin on Aug. 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 Kentucky Supreme Court district and four at-large members. Cox will serve as a member-at-large.

Senate President Robert Stivers, R-Manchester, congratulated Cox on his appointment and noted his dedication to improving educational standards and oversight.

“David’s appointment to the LSAC highlights his commitment to advancing education in Kentucky, particularly in our region,” Stivers said. “His experience and passion for enhancing educational outcomes will benefit the council greatly.”
