(FRANKFORT, KY) – Applications are now being accepted for the non-voting teacher and student members of the Kentucky Board of Education (KBE).
Each member would serve a one-year term, from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025.
To be considered for the teacher position, the applicant must be employed on a full-time basis by a Kentucky public school district in a position for which Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB) certification is required, not employed in an administrative role and must reside in Kentucky's 2nd Congressional District.
