FLEMINGSBURG, KY — October 23, 2025 — Fleming County Schools opened the 2025–2026 school year with the first meeting of the Local Accountability Advisory Council (LAAC), bringing together nearly 50 parents, educators, business leaders, and students to continue refining how the district measures student success.
The LAAC serves as a key advisory body in the development of Fleming County’s Local Accountability Model, known as the Measures of Quality (MoQ), a framework that captures student growth, durable skills, creativity, and readiness for life. This local approach has made Fleming County one of Kentucky’s leading districts in reimagining school accountability.
Superintendent Dr. Brian Creasman welcomed members at the October 23 meeting, noting that the Council is central to the district’s belief that accountability should reflect the community it serves.
“This work belongs to Fleming County,” Creasman said. “Our Measures of Quality ensure that what we value - growth, purpose, and readiness for life - is what we measure.”
This year’s Council includes 9 returning members, 13 new participants, and 16 students representing both Simons Middle School and Fleming County High School. The addition of more student voices was a direct request from last year’s members, who emphasized the importance of hearing from learners as accountability practices evolve.
Consultant Dr. Owens Saylor, who continues to support Fleming County’s accountability design, commended the district’s leadership for making local voices the center of the process.
“Fleming County continues to model what local accountability can be: transparent, community-driven, and focused on continuous improvement,” Saylor said.
This year, the LAAC will concentrate on two areas: expanding community awareness of the Measures of Quality and advising how those measures are displayed through the district’s new 4.1 Dashboard, a public platform that connects data with stories of real growth and authentic learning.
The Council will meet monthly at Fleming County High School, reviewing data, student artifacts, and stories that show progress toward the district’s vision of a Vibrant Learning Ecosystem: one where every student’s growth is visible, measurable, and meaningful.
Membership for the 2025–2026 Council is now closed, but updates from each meeting will be shared through the district website and social media channels.
