CONSTITUTIONAL OATH FOR BOARD OF EDUCATION MEMBERS

There are two oaths - one verbal and one written- that new and re-elected board members must take.    An official qualified under KRS 62.020 must administer this oath by having the board member repeat after the official.  The official must then certify in writing that the oath was administered, and this certification must be filed with the Office of the County Clerk.  A separate written oath is set out in KRS 160.170.  This oath may be prepared as a form document to be completed and signed by the board member and then notarized.  The executed document must be maintained as an official board record.

Newly elected or appointed board members must take both oaths. This includes not only members that are new to the board itself, but also members who are reelected for additional terms and members elected or appointed to fill an unexpired term.

Judge Kimberly A. Shumate will administer the Oath of Office.
