Kenley Appointed To Hamilton East Public Library Board

The Noblesville Schools Board of Trustees appointed Noblesville High School teacher Bill Kenley to represent the district on the Hamilton East Public Library board. The vote was 3-2 with board members Laura Alerding and Misti Ray voting against the appointment.

Noblesville Schools has authority to appoint to the Hamilton East Public Library board because we are an important academic institution in the community. These appointments have traditionally been filled by educators and it is unusual for a board member to hold one of the seats. While our board members typically take turns rotating committee assignments amongst themselves, a majority of the board has decided that this appointment should return to past practice and be held by an educator.

Kenley has served as a writing and literature teacher for over 25 years and is also a published author. He is a graduate of Noblesville High School and his writing and teaching have been recognized at national, state and local levels. Kenley is also the founder of a community literary magazine and holds a master’s degree in English education and a bachelor’s degree in communications.
