Principals Excellence Program | University of Kentucky and Pike County Public Schools

Costs

PEP was the seventh of 20 initiatives awarded grants in October 2001 through the first authorization of the NCLB School Leadership Development Program. The UK-Pike County partnership received $503,331.00 (10/1/02 to 9/30/06) from the Office of Innovation and Improvement to design, implement, and evaluate the post-certification administrator development program. Funds covered all UK personnel costs, travel expenses for UK professors between Lexington and Pikeville (a 300-mile roundtrip), instructional materials and training supplies, contractual fee to hire a program evaluator, district reimbursement of substitute expenses for participating teachers, stipends for mentor principals ($500 each semester), tuition payment for 18 graduate credits in educational administration from UK and stipends ($1000 each at conclusion of yearlong program) for cohort participants. Most cohort members used their credits toward completion of additional educator Kentucky administrator certifications. Monetary investiment in leadership development was approximately $9,000 for each PEP cohort member. The grant also included funds for travel by the project director and others to national and state professional conferences for dissemination of reasearch findings and to the required annual project director meetings in Washington, DC.
