Cassiopia Blausey

Cassie leads the Policy and Advocacy team at Leadership for Educational Equity. Her team is responsible for building the pipeline of leaders working in policy and advocacy and supporting the development of LEE members’ skills to organize community-based people power and impact policy.

A lawyer by trade, and still a teacher at heart, Cassie’s experience in policy spans local and state government in areas including federal programs, alternative education, and school choice. She holds a BA in Religious Studies from Centre College, a M.Ed in Elementary Education from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, and a Juris Doctor from the University of Louisville. Cassie has served as an elementary teacher, felony prosecutor, policy advisor with the Kentucky Department of Education, and Executive Administrator of School Choice for Jefferson County Public Schools, the largest urban school district in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. She is licensed to practice law.

When she’s not working, you can find her camping and hiking with her amazing husband and daughter, crafting and selling crochet plants at local art fairs with friends, playing the flute or piccolo in a local wind ensemble, or leading a Troop of Girl Scouts. Cassie has been known to book late-night plane tickets for next-day travel because life is short, and she wants to see everything!
