Forty-eight Kentucky school principals will receive executive-level leadership training as participants in an institute being created and funded by the state’s business community through the Kentucky Chamber Foundation.
The principals were chosen for pilot classes (two groups of 24 each) of the Leadership Institute for School Principals that will begin this summer at the nationally recognized Center for Creative Leadership in Greensboro (CCL), N.C., and continue with follow-up sessions in the fall and early next year in Kentucky. CCL is a top-ranked global provider of executive education founded in 1970 that established an education and nonprofit section in 1988. Many Kentucky corporations use CCL to provide training for their executives.
Elementary, middle and high school principals from across Kentucky representing both public and private schools applied for the institute; participants were selected by a committee of an advisory board made up of business leaders and school superintendents. The institute is being supported by the AT&T Foundation and numerous local businesses across the state.
The participating principals will attend at no cost to themselves. Tuition and hotel costs will be paid by the Kentucky Chamber Foundation, and each participant will receive a stipend to cover travel and meals.
