KBE approves clarifying amendment to teacher disciplinary hearing regulation
Summary
The board approved an amendment to 701 KAR 5:090 clarifying district reimbursement responsibilities in teacher disciplinary hearings as the regulation neared its seven‑year review.
KDE Deputy Commissioner and General Counsel Todd Allen and Staff Attorney Sara Bentley presented an amendment to 701 KAR 5:090, which governs procedures for teacher disciplinary hearings. Allen said the regulation was reviewed because it approached its seven‑year expiration and that the proposed edits improve clarity for school districts, particularly about reimbursement responsibilities tied to hearings. Harold McKinney moved to approve the amendment, Juston Pate seconded, and the board passed the amendment unanimously.
Staff characterized the changes as clarifications rather than substantive overhauls and said the intent is to reduce ambiguity for districts about when reimbursement is required. KDE will include the updated language in guidance materials distributed to districts.
