The Jessamine County Board of Education has named current JCS Director of Operations Sara Crum as the next Superintendent of Jessamine County Schools. Crum takes the reins as Matt Moore retires after serving seven years as Superintendent.
Crum’s 25 year career began as a teacher at Nicholasville Elementary School, later serving as Curriculum Resource Administrator and then Principal of the school. For the last three years, Crum has served as the Director of Operations where she has assisted in managing the daily operations of the district’s 13 schools. Crum’s administrative oversight has included a number of departments including athletics, food service, transportation, and maintenance. In addition, as the District Safety and Security Coordinator, Crum works closely with local law enforcement partners to ensure that comprehensive security measures are implemented, reviewed, and adjusted as needed.
Crum earned a Bachelor of Arts in Education and a Master’s degree in Education from Georgetown College. She received a Master’s degree in Instructional Leadership from Eastern Kentucky University and a School Superintendent Certification from the University of Kentucky. She and husband Danny call Nicholasville home with daughters, Ellie, who attends Asbury University and Olivia, just completing her sophomore year at West Jessamine High School.
