A Meade County bus driver is a finalist for a statewide education award.
Meade County Schools bus driver Regina Decker is one of three finalists for the Kentucky Association of School Administrators’ 2026 Fred Award, which recognizes exceptional support staff who make a lasting difference in Kentucky public schools.
According to the KASA, the mission of the Fred Award program is to shine a light on the unsung heroes of public education and recognize support staff who shape school culture through their daily actions. Districts nominate individuals who embody four defining qualities: making a positive difference each day, building meaningful relationships, creating memorable experiences, and leading by example.
Decker’s nomination describes her as a steady, caring presence in the lives of every child she serves, and says: “Through her consistency, warmth, and unwavering commitment, she elevates an often-overlooked role into one of powerful daily impact, embodying the very spirit of service, care, and excellence this award represents.”
Decker and the other nominees will be visited by a film crew to capture their story and the impact of their work. The videos will be reviewed by a panel, and the winner will be announced during the KASA’s annual leadership institute on July 31. Learn more about the award at www.kasa.org.
