School superintendents encourage everyone to Go Vote on election day Nov. 5 — kids are watching


Superintendents of the 16 school districts in Northern Kentucky, united through the Northern Kentucky Cooperative for Educational Services, are encouraging community members to Go Vote on November 5.

Jim Flynn, executive director of the Kentucky Association for School Superintendents, is leading the statewide initiative.
Superintendents are encouraging citizens to vote, both to be sure their voice is part of our communities and to serve as positive role models for children.

Voting allows all of us to share our individual voices as we participate in the democratic process, he says.

It’s fundamental to providing the best education and the best future possible for our children and our region. In addition, teaching children civic engagement is required in schools, and children need to see that their role models value this right and responsibility.

The superintendents say that as state educational leaders, it is critical to remain an integral part of the process as our Commonwealth considers policy issues that will affect our students and those who serve them. 

To this end, they are sharing a unified voice on these priorities. Your vote matters for kids —future citizens.
