The Local Planning Committee meeting scheduled for Tuesday, March 19, 2019, has been rescheduled for Tuesday, April 9, 2019, at 6 p.m. at the Madison County Board of Education. This forum will be for the purpose of soliciting public comments concerning the District Facilities Plan. Directly after this public forum, the Local Planning Committee will meet to review feedback that the Kentucky Department of Education provided on the District Facilities Plan, consider changes to the plan and vote to send the plan to the local school board.

The event was specifically planned to occur during Kentucky Saves Week (also America Saves Week and FCCLA Saves Week).

But, usually, off to the side there is another office that you may not even notice. Inside of that office sits, what could be considered, one of the unsung heroes of our schools.

In appreciation for their participation in the Community Work Transition Program of Madison County, we are honored to spotlight Lee's Famous Recipe of Berea as our featured Business Partner of the Month.
