AN ACT relating to educators.

Summary

The measure redesigns how Kentucky certifies teachers by giving the Education Professional Standards Board authority to create certification standards and evaluate college and university teacher‑preparation programs. It bans using high‑stakes test scores as admission barriers and requires applicants to complete a formative basic‑skills assessment before enrolling, with the results used to provide targeted support. The bill also adds duties for diversity reviews, sexual‑misconduct guidelines, alternative certification routes, and fee structures.
