The Kentucky School for the Blind (KSB) Advisory Board will meet at the Kentucky School for the Blind on Sept. 21, 2023, at 11 a.m. ET.
The Kentucky General Assembly authorized KSB to have an advisory board. While the language in KRS 167.035 is permissive and does not require an advisory board to exist, if such a board is established, the advisory board provides advice to the commissioner of education and KSB administration on how the school can best meet the specialized educational and cultural needs of the community of students it serves.
The KSB Advisory Board will set aside 30 minutes dedicated to receiving public comments. Individuals wishing to address the KSB Advisory Board shall sign up to speak before the meeting begins and provide his/her name and describe the issue on which they will speak. This information should be sent to Janell Turner, KSB Advisory Board Chair, at JanellK.Turner@ky.gov.
Individuals addressing the KSB Advisory Board will be provided five minutes each for public comment. The KSB Advisory Board has the right to set limits on the topics that may be addressed by the public to ensure relevance to the function and purpose of the advisory board.
