AN ACT relating to education.

Amend KRS 161.030 to specify authority of the Education Professional Standards Board over educators hired by public schools only; amend KRS 199.894 to define "learning pod" and exclude them from the definition of "child-care center" and "family child-care home"; amend KRS 194A.381 to exclude learning pods from certain youth camp requirements.

This bill makes two main changes: it limits the Education Professional Standards Board's authority to educators hired by public schools specifically, and it creates a legal definition for "learning pods" while exempting them from the rules that apply to licensed child-care centers, family child-care homes, and youth camps. This matters to Kentuckians because it clarifies which educators face state licensing oversight and removes certain state oversight requirements from small, informal learning groups. Who it may affect: parents who use or operate learning pods, educators working outside traditional public schools, and child-care providers.
