Oldham County Schools Superintendent Claudette Herald says district is ready for start of new academic year

Oldham County Schools is preparing for the start of the new academic year, with Superintendent Claudette Herald saying she and district staff are ready to welcome students back.

Herald made the remarks in advance of the school year as the district completed preparations for daily operations, according to WAVE. She said the district is approaching the transition with a focus on readiness for classrooms and campus activities.

In describing district staffing, Herald said Oldham County Schools includes a team of 1,660 teachers and support staff who will be working to support students and maintain day-to-day school services.

The superintendent’s comments were framed around the start of the year and the work involved in getting schools ready for students, including the coordination needed to ensure staff are in place for the first days of instruction.

WAVE reported Herald’s statement as part of the district’s broader effort to communicate with families and the community as students return to school.

With the new academic year under way or approaching, Herald’s message centered on the district’s internal preparedness and the staffing commitment that will support students across Oldham County Schools.

The district’s next steps are expected to include continuing the start-of-year rollout, day-to-day coordination for campuses, and communications with families as the first weeks of classes proceed.
