BCS superintendent Carter named to national board

An area school administrator has been appointed to a national board.

Breckinridge County Schools Superintendent Dr. Nick Carter has been appointed to the governing board of the American Association of School Administrators.

“As far as a governing board member of AASA, I’ll be involved periodically in the governing board meetings,” Carter said. “The governing board helps set the legislative agenda and things like that for the American Association of School Administrators.”

Carter currently serves as the past president of the board of directors for the Kentucky Association of School Administrators. As one of only two Kentucky educators serving on the national board, Carter said he is looking forward to the job ahead.

“I’m just really excited to have this opportunity and have an opportunity to work with our federal delegation, representatives and senators, at different times as we continue to have those discussions about the needs of public education,” Carter said.

Carter said his success is a product of the success of Breckinridge County Schools.

“These opportunities are available because I work with incredible people,” Carter said. “There’s nearly 500 wonderful employees in the Breckinridge County School District and a little over 2,700 awesome students, and so I’m truly blessed to be doing what I’m doing, and as long as I’m doing it, I’m going to continue to work hard for the folks in my school district and all public education.”

Carter has served as BCS superintendent since 2017.
