Jessamine schools chief Lu Young
Kentucky superintendent of the year

This from H-L:
Jessamine County Schools Superintendent Lu Young was named the 2012 Kentucky school superintendent of the year on Wednesday by the Kentucky Association of School Administrators.

Association executive director Wayne Young and other officials surprised Young with the award Wednesday afternoon at the Jessamine County Career and Technology Center.

Young, 51, joined the Jessamine County Schools as a teacher in 1983. She became superintendent in 2004, and she has been highly regarded among school superintendents statewide.

Last summer, Young was one of three finalists for superintendent of Fayette County Schools. Tom Shelton, who formerly headed the Daviess County Public Schools, got the job. Young and Shelton, who attended Wednesday's announcement, are close friends...

Dear Lu,

If only you had become FCPS superintendent. The Board erred in not choosing you.

Maybe she didn't get the job because she was vacationing in Australia on Pearson's dime on an "educational trip" during the interview sessions. Why take a job with Fayette County when it would appear that one might already have a second income?
