Board grants limited course waivers to two applicants, denies extension of BEC exam score
Summary
The Board granted a three-hour business-law waiver to Jonathan Long and waived a college-algebra requirement for William "Billy" Hess based on work experience; it denied Brittany Strohm Jestice’s request to extend a BEC exam score that expires June 30, 2025.
Jonathan Long appeared virtually to request waivers under K.A.R. 74-2-7(h). After entering closed session to deliberate, the board reconvened and, on a motion by Julie Wondra seconded by Steve Herron, granted a waiver of 3 hours for a business law course based on Mr. Long’s work experience.
William "Billy" Hess appeared virtually seeking waivers for a college algebra course, a second business law course and an accounting/business data analytics course under K.A.R. 74-2-7(h). Following closed-session deliberation, the board reconvened and, on a motion by Wondra seconded by Gillespie, waived the college algebra course based on Mr. Hess’s work experience.
Brittany Strohm Jestice appeared virtually seeking an extension of a BEC exam score that expires on June 30, 2025. The board met in closed session to deliberate and reconvened to deny the request. The board advised Ms. Jestice of the regulation’s terms allowing extension only for circumstances beyond a candidate’s control.
All three matters were handled in accordance with the procedural rule cited on the record; the board used closed sessions for deliberation where permitted by law.
