A new chapter begins for Boone County Schools as Darryl Denham steps in as the new Executive Director of School Finance. Introduced at the August 2025 Boone County School Board meeting, Denham, a proud alumnus of the district, brings over 30 years of corporate experience in finance and accounting to the role.

Denham, who attended Goodridge Elementary and Conner High School, expressed his excitement about returning to the community where he grew up. "It's good to be back in the community," he said, highlighting his commitment to learning and contributing to the school district's financial health. He will be working alongside Kelly Katie, who continues to manage the treasurer's reports, as they aim to enhance the operations of the business office.

As the school year kicks off, the atmosphere is buzzing with activity. Denham noted the heartwarming sight of students heading to school, complete with backpacks and eager smiles. However, he also acknowledged the challenges faced by parents navigating traffic during drop-off and pick-up times, a common concern as schools reopen.

The Boone County School Board is optimistic about Denham's leadership and the positive impact he will have on the district's financial strategies. As the school year progresses, the community looks forward to seeing how his expertise will shape the future of Boone County Schools.
