Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would require Kentucky schools to pay certified school personnel when they are required to attend professional development activities outside of their normal school day or calendar schedule. Currently, the law does not appear to guarantee this compensation, so the change would ensure teachers and other certified staff are paid for required training time beyond their regular hours. Who it may affect: certified school employees such as teachers and other licensed school staff who are required to attend professional development outside of their scheduled work hours.
