History
KASC was formed in 1992. The presidents of the Kentucky Congress of Parent and Teacher Associations, the Kentucky Education Association, and the Kentucky Association of School Administrators appointed our initial leadership and collaborated on the original constitution.
Over the years, KASC expanded the SBDM work to include more focus on quality teaching and learning to help support student achievement. We have developed a strong reputation for building the capacity of school leadership teams as well as developing training and tools to help improve the classroom, school, and district.
KASC's Why
KASC believes in the unlimited potential of human beings. People, with support and caring, can accomplish anything.

What we do
From our office in Danville, our talented staff develops a wide range of materials, workshops, products, tools and informational updates on a variety of topics related to council responsibility and school proficiency. We also field questions from educators and parents, provide legal guidance, and develop tools that simplify the work of schools and districts.
Board of Directors
Because the KASC Board is made up of principals, teachers, and parents, the input on KASC’s work comes from a variety of perspectives. Board meetings are a mix of business and learning to keep directors and staff current on state issues and charting next steps for KASC. Through large and small group work, you can expect to do everything from set KASC policy to develop strategies for membership to participate in the latest workshop activities.
Communications will be coming from Liz Erwin, Executive Director, so if you have any questions about KASC or the board, please contact Liz.
