Henderson County School System and Lexington City System Join Forces to Highlight Importance of School Attendance
Community and business leaders, representatives from the medical and mental health fields, and school officials gathered for a crucial meeting to address the pressing issue of school attendance. The meeting, which delved into the topics of truancy, chronic absenteeism, and the significance of regular school attendance, emphasized how absences and tardiness can accumulate rapidly.
Key presenters at the meeting included Kim Bryant and Dr. Steve Meyer from the Henderson County School System, as well as Julie Meyer and Melanie Douglas from the Lexington City School System. Their insightful presentations shed light on the far-reaching implications of irregular attendance and had an open discussion with those in attendance for strategies to tackle this prevalent issue.
This collaborative effort between the Henderson County School System and the Lexington City System marks a significant joint venture aimed at raising awareness about the importance of school attendance. With September being School Attendance Awareness Month, the timing of this meeting serves as a poignant reminder of the need for collective action to address attendance-related challenges in educational settings.
Our Voluntary PreK Programs at Beaver and South Haven have a few openings!

We are so excited to welcome our students back to school this morning!! Have a wonderful school year! ✏️ 🍎
Nearly 600 Henderson County teachers and staff gathered yesterday for their annual county-wide in-service. We had a great morning full of information and encouragement, along with guest speaker Kim Bearden from the Ron Clark Academy. A special thank you to the First Pentecostal Church for the use of their facility and graciousness throughout the morning.
The last three days have been filled with opportunities for the Henderson County School District's teachers and staff. There have been 25 different professional development sessions available over the last three days! Just a few more days and our students will fill the halls. August 2nd is the first full day of school.
The Henderson County School District and Mrs. Gennifer Leslie would like to thank the AirEvac Lifeteam and Braden Healthcare for today's CPR training sessions for many of our district employees. At last count, they trained 110 staff members today. "This was a great opportunity not only for our school system but for our community because all of those who were trained today will be carrying that knowledge out into our community with them, and that knowledge can potentially save someone’s life," states Henderson County Nurse Supervisor, Gennifer Leslie.
Thank you!
