Today was a great day for our Murray Elementary School students (K-3), and Murray Middle School (4-5th grade) students as they met their teachers.
Each year MES teachers visit each of their students for the new school year. This year, MMS 4-5 grade teachers joined the traditon and made visits to the homes of their students.
The visit provides a one-on-one visit and a chance for the student to meet their teacher and ask questions about the year, while the teacher explains how the first day of school will be.
Front-Porch Visit pictures from today can be sent to sherry.purdom@murray.kyschools.

Pursuant to KRS 156.007 Dr. David Meinschein, Ed.D., Murray Independent School District Superintendent (MISD), has been appointed to the Local Superintendents Advisory Council.
Sen. Jason Howell,{R}-Murray, believes it is crucial to have quality leaders in advisory positions, most especially in the realm of educating children and supported Meinschein’s appointment as one of the four at large members. “Dr. Meinschein brings both breadth and depth of quality experience to this role. I was proud to support Dr. Meinschein for this position to represent both the interest of our schoolchildren and all of West Kentucky.”
Meinschein joins the 11 members appointed by the LRC, with seven members representing each of the State Supreme districts and four members serving the state at-large. The council meetings usually are held on the Tuesday of the week before each regular KBE meeting. Meinschein will serve as one of the four-member at large beginning August 1, 2026. According to the KRS mandated statue, the charge of the LSAC is to “advise the chief state school officer and the Kentucky Board of Education (KBE) concerning the development of administrative regulations and education policy. The chief state school officer shall submit all proposed administrative regulations and educational policies for review by the council prior to seeking approval of the Kentucky Board of Education. The LSAC advises the chief state school officer and the Kentucky Board of Education (KBE) on developing administrative regulations and education policies
Senate Majority Floor Leader Steven Rudy {R} praised the appointment. “Dr. Meinschein has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to educational excellence and student success throughout his career. His leadership, experience, and dedication to Kentucky’s public schools make him exceptionally qualified to serve on the Local Superintendents Advisory Council. I am confident he will provide thoughtful insight and strong leadership as the Council works to strengthen education across the Commonwealth.”
