At the June 10-11 meeting, the Kentucky Board of Education announced the creation of the "Dr. Johnnie Grissom Award -- Striving for Achievement Through Instructional Equity". It will be awarded annually to an individual or group with outstanding accomplishments in striving to help all students achieve at high levels through instructional equity and in closing the achievement gap.
The award is being established to honor the tremendous work and dedication of long-time department employee, Associate Commissioner of Special Instructional Services Johnnie Grissom. She will be the first recipient of the award and it will be presented to her at the August board meeting.
