  • The Fayette County Board of Education:

    • Develops policy that governs the operation of schools;
    • Provides visionary leadership that establishes long-range plans and programs for the district;
    • Hires the superintendent and issues annual evaluation reports;
    • Sets local tax rates and practices vigorous stewardship to ensure that all school district funds are spent wisely.

    The board's Standards of Practice outline 14 agreements drafted during a retreat with Superintendent Manny Caulk. The document was approved Oct. 26, 2015, and reaffirmed May 20, 2019. 

    Feedback: You can reach out to all five board members to share input or suggestions.

    Superintendent's role: Acting Superintendent Marlene Helm serves as secretary to the school board. Her executive assistant is Tanya Dailey, at (859) 381-4104.

  • To be qualified for this elective office, a candidate or applicant must be at least 24 years old, a Kentucky citizen for the last three years, and a registered voter in the appropriate district and voter precinct(s). They must also hold a high school diploma or GED certificate and be in compliance with anti-nepotism state laws, and cannot provide contract services for the school district.

  • Under state law, the Kentucky education commissioner has 90 days to appoint someone to complete the term if a seat is vacated. The school board advertises for qualified applicants by running notices in the Lexington Herald-Leader and on the school district’s website. After receiving the applications and verifying qualifications, the Kentucky Department of Education sends a letter to the superintendent with a list of all qualified candidates. A committee selected by the commissioner then interviews all qualified candidates and makes a recommendation to the commissioner, who has the final determination.
