This bill changes how Kentucky public schools are governed by shifting decision-making authority away from school-based councils and giving more power to principals, superintendents, and local school boards. It requires principals to report to their local board regularly, requires school policies to be reviewed and approved by the local board before taking effect, and allows local boards to adopt curricula for human sexuality education. Who it may affect: public school students and their parents, school principals and superintendents, local school board members, and current school-based council members.
