Edmonson Voice Report:
Two Edmonson County school employees have each received an esteemed technological award from the Kentucky Department of Education's Office of Education Technology: Brent Norris and Lamar Miller.

The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) is recognizing about 2,400 key education technology staff from Kentucky's K-12 school districts and KDE's Office of Education Technology (OET) for their dedication and support of education technology during the COVID-19 pandemic from March 2020 to March 2022 by selecting them as recipients of the 2020-2022 Stilwell Award. 

This award's two-year time frame recognizes the unique circumstances that came from the pandemic and the crucial role technology staff and faculty played in supporting the Kentucky educational system.
