The Louisville Municipal School District used part of its meeting to present awards honoring administrators, teachers and parents across the district.
Unidentified Speaker (S3) announced that "Miss Gina Smith was selected by her peers in Louisville Municipal School District as a district admin of the year," and invited her to be recognized. The board also presented a Teacher of the Year award to Jennifer Clark, who was noted for starting as a substitute, opening a daycare to support colleagues and advancing to a ninth-grade English and video production teacher role.
Principals from multiple schools presented Parent of the Year awards. Miss Webb, principal at Fair Elementary, presented Kayla Yarborough for her volunteer work as PTO vice president and her organization of school events. Theresa Jenkins, assistant principal at Lewisville Elementary, presented Quamisha Davis as Parent of the Year after teachers cited Davis's consistent support and accountability for her child.
