Two education leaders, one of them from Daviess County, were named recipients of the seventh-annual David Karem Award for Excellence in Education Policy during the Kentucky Board of Education’s (KBE’s) regular meeting on June 7. Sarah Vivian and Jeremy Camron were honored at the meeting. Vivian, principal of The Academy in Franklin County, and Camron, principal of Owensboro Day Treatment, were recognized for their role in passing legislation to expand the high school equivalency program to include youth in all district-operated alternative programs. The Karem Award honors former KBE member and state legislator David Karem. The 2022 Kentucky Association of School Administrators selected Camron as the 2022 Administrator of the Year, and more recently, he was chosen for induction into the Class of 2023 Kentucky Veterans Hall Fame.
