African-American Administrator Recruitment Program

Dr. Robert Lyons - Director

The African American Administrator Recruitment Program (AAARP) was established to recruit licensed African American Kentucky teachers to be trained as licensed Kentucky school administrators. Licensure areas of need include K -12 building principal, K-12 guidance counselors, supervisors of instructions, directors of pupil personnel, and superintendents. Those who are chosen to participate in AAARP must have proven themselves to be exemplary teachers and must hold promise as prospective school administrators or guidance counselors.

A secondary goal of AAARP is to develop a network of minority educators throughout the MSU service area using workshop programs. This network is designed to facilitate information dissemination to minority students and their parents regarding post-secondary education, with an emphasis on teacher education.
