Amanda Ferguson responds: I promise to be a voice for those who feel unheard.

I would appreciate your vote for my re-election as the 4th District member of the Fayette County Board of Education. The district has honored me by previously electing me to this position three times. I would again be a passionate advocate for my constituents – representing the best interests of the entire community, insisting on good governance and accountability, and seeking to ensure the wise use of district resources so that every student in the school district will be positioned to succeed. I promise to be a voice for those who feel they have not been heard – students, parents, teachers, support professionals, administrators, and concerned citizens.

I have lived within this district nearly my entire life, attending Maxwell, Morton, and Henry Clay. In addition to my service on the school board, I have been involved with the school system for nearly 20 years as a PTA member and officer, SBDM council member, volunteer and tutor, while my children attended schools within this system.

My parents instilled in me a lifelong love of education and learning, and I received a B.A. degree in Psychology from the University of Kentucky and an M.A. degree in Psychology from Vanderbilt University. My passion for education ultimately led me to take on the challenging role of school board member for 10 years and I am ready to serve again.

I have been and remain committed to the betterment of my community, especially its children. I am eager to work for you again and ask for your vote.
