Tiny Nicholas County was Kentucky's fastest growing over the 2024-2025 period, with a 2.5% population increase. Madison County grew by 2.1%, becoming the state's 8th county to have a 100,000+ population. Thirty nine countries are estimated to have lost people over this time.

Over the past five years, Warren County's population has increased by 11% (nearly 15,000 people), the fastest growth in Kentucky. Madison County grew 9.7% and Allen County grew 9.5%. Kentucky's two largest counties, Jefferson and Fayette, also gained people during this period.

Senate Bill 4, as currently written, undermines the authority of locally elected school board members & diminishes the voices of nearly 1 million voters in Kentucky's two largest school districts. KSBA believes all individuals governing a local school district should be elected.

KSBA Staff Attorney John Powell and Director of Communications Brenna Kelly updated school communicators across the state on the many educational bills making their way through #KYGA at @KySchoolPR’s Spring Conference.

Rep. Kevin Jackson, R-Bowling Green, a former Warren County Schools board member, honored KSBA for its 90th Anniversary with a legislative citation on the House floor.

@DavidT4WV Thanks, David!

The final version of my story today on the Alex Murdaugh appeal from the SC Supreme Court . Ruling incoming months from now.... apnews.com/article/alex-m…

The Ky. Supreme Court has declared 2022's SB1 limiting the authority of the Jefferson County school board unconstitutional.

The November issue of the Ky. School Advocate includes a look at how school boards weigh district needs and tax rates, information about our Winter Symposium, a Q&A with a @HardinCoSchools board member and with the Ky. school psychology assoc. president. advocate.ksba.org/November2025

🚨SCHOOL CANCELED | Due to the necessary shelter-in-place order issued by the city following this evening’s tragic plane crash, all JCPS schools and buildings will be closed Wednesday, Nov. 5. This will operate like a snow day with no online instruction. All extracurricular activities and athletics are also canceled.

KSBA mourns the passing of former Gov. Martha Layne Collins. As governor, her education reforms of 1985, including staff raises, reduced class sizes & increased funding for construction & poorer districts, paved the way for KERA. We extend our condolences to her family & friends.

@DrSPruitt @ksbanews @KyDeptofEd Thank you!
