Kentucky's Unsung Heroes Deserve Recognition | Lexington News

Kentucky’s unsung heroes in education are being spotlighted—bus drivers, cafeteria workers, aides and more—are eligible for the state’s top support staff award, with nominations due October 9. Established by Governor Beshear and Lt. Gov. Coleman in 2020, this honor celebrates the 46,000+ classified employees whose daily work keeps schools running. Top two Kentucky nominees will advance to compete for the prestigious national RISE Award—last year’s winner, Vanessa Lyons, even made it to the national finalist round. If you know someone who’s going above and beyond behind the scenes, nominate them now—because their impact deserves to be seen.
