The Walton-Verona Independent School District has filled its board vacancy.
Aubrey Ryan will fill the District 2 board position. She was appointed by Education Commissioner Jason Glass after the district interviewed several candidates for the open position but could not come to a consensus. The district was working to fill the vacancy after former board member Stacey Thornberry resigned in mid-July. She did not give a reason at the time of her resignation.
A former teacher and currently a school counselor in the Erlanger-Elsmere Independent School District, Ryan is also running for the position she was appointed to on the Walton-Verona Board of Education.
She is one of eight candidates running for a spot on the school board in the 2022 General Election.
Ryan is a native of Northern Kentucky. She grew up in Fort Thomas and moved to Walton in 2012. In 2008, she graduated from Northern Kentucky University with a bachelor’s degree in secondary English education. She also has a master’s degree in educational leadership from NKU and a second master’s degree in school counseling from the University of the Cumberlands.
She currently serves as a school counselor at Tichenor Middle School in the Erlanger-Elsmere school district.
Ryan’s first board meeting will be Thursday, Oct. 27.
