(FRANKFORT, KY) – Applications are open for nonvoting student and teacher members of the Kentucky Board of Education (KBE).
To be considered, teacher applicants 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 be employed in an administrative role; and reside in Kentucky's 1st Congressional District.
For the student member position, applicants must: be enrolled in a Kentucky public high school; be a junior in good standing on July 1 – which means a sophomore at the time of application; and reside in Kentucky's 5th Congressional District.
The KBE has 15 members. The governor appoints 11 voting members: seven representing the Supreme Court districts and four representing the state at large. The additional members – the president of the Council on Postsecondary Education, the secretary of the Kentucky Education and Labor Cabinet, a high school student and an active elementary or secondary school teacher – serve as nonvoting members.
