McCreary County schools introduce new director of operations, appoint middle-school principal and honor student scholars
Summary
The board announced two personnel changes — Sam Markle as director of operations and Sasha Taylor as principal for Breaking Middle School — and presented student scholarship awards as part of the district’s recognition program.
At the Aug. 26 meeting the McCreary County Board of Education introduced two new personnel appointments and recognized students picked as the district’s 2024–25 reward recipients.
The personnel announcements named Dr. Sam Markle (referred to in the meeting as "Doctor Sam Markle") as the incoming director of operations at the central office, with responsibility for transportation, buildings and grounds and several grants. The board also said the school council selected Sasha Taylor to serve as principal of Breaking Middle School.
Superintendent Dr. Taylor led a student-recognition segment, describing the district’s reward program for outstanding attendance, behavior, grades and citizenship. The program includes scholarship awards that grow with grade level: for example, the program as described awards $200 for a second-grade recipient and $900 for an eighth-grade recipient, to be held as scholarship funds for use after graduation for college, career, military or entrepreneurship expenses. The board called forward several students and their families to receive awards.
These personnel announcements and student recognitions were presented as informational items; the transcript indicates standard acknowledgments and requests for acceptance of personnel forms, but does not record contested discussion.
