This bill would require the Kentucky Department of Education to create a set professional development training schedule that all local school districts must follow. If the required training cannot be finished in one day, districts would need to add an extra day to the school calendar. Districts would also have to report back to the department on how the training is going. Who it may affect: teachers and other certified school staff, local school district administrators, and potentially students and families if school calendar days are added.
