The Kentucky School for the Blind (KSB) Advisory Board will meet at the Kentucky School for the Blind on Nov. 21 at 11 a.m. ET.
The Kentucky General Assembly authorized the KSB to have an advisory board. While the language in KRS 167.035 is permissive and does not require an advisory board to exist, if such a board is established, the advisory board provides advice to the commissioner of education and the KSB Administration on how the school can best meet the specialized education and cultural needs of the community of students it serves.
The KSB Advisory Board will set aside 30 minutes dedicated to receiving public comments. Individuals wishing to address the KSB Advisory Board must sign up to speak before the meeting begins and provide his/her name and the issue they wish to speak on. This information should be sent to Virren Malhotra, KSB Advisory Board Chair, at virrenmalhotra@yahoo.com.
Individuals addressing the KSB Advisory Board will be provided five minutes each for public comment. The KSB Advisory Board has the right to set limits on the topics that may be addressed by the public to ensure relevance to the function and purpose of the advisory board.
