One of his proud accomplishments of which there are many in long career is being appointed by the Governor to the Kentucky Youth Bullying Prevention Task force back in 2014. Tasked with finding solutions to make schools safer and free of bullying and harassment, there is one reported bullying incident every 4 minutes of every school day.
Scott was instrumental in his role at TRAK leading and hosting training seminars for operators, legislative efforts at the state capitol and leading the association in sponsoring a scholarship program for students who were the first in their family to attend college.
To steal a quote from Scott that speaks to his character: I take pride in my work, whether it is clearing incidents or accidents on the interstate or reading to a first grade class at the elementary school. The first is financially rewarding but the second, sharing time with youth in our schools is emotionally gratifying beyond description.
