Education

Gov. Steve Beshear recently appointed four people to the Kentucky Advisory Council for Gifted and Talented Education, and one of the appointees is from Marion County.

Jan Lanham of Gravel Switch, the principal at Cox's Creek Elementary School, was appointed as the parent representative on the council. Her term is scheduled to expire Dec. 15, 2014.

Marion County Superintendent Chuck Hamilton said the school district is starting to get requests from parents for specific schools for their children next year, and he wanted to remind the public that the district plans to stick to its district boundary lines.

"We are sticking very closely to the attendance boundaries that were established by the board some years ago," Hamilton said during the school board's regular monthly meeting Tuesday of last week. "We really have to do this because all of our schools are full."
