High School Transformation in Kentucky Work Group

(GEORGETOWN, KY) – The High School Transformation in Kentucky Work Group will meet Feb. 26 at 9:30 a.m. ET. A hybrid option is available to group members virtually and in person in the presentation labs at Elkhorn Crossing School (2001 Frankfort Pike, Georgetown, KY 40324).

The National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE) invited the Kentucky Board of Education (KBE) to participate in the High School Transformation State Network (HSTSN) which aims “to build and enhance the capacity of state boards of education to enable student experiences that foster content mastery and durable skills.” The Kentucky High School Work Group is a group of individuals focused on examining policies and implementation practices that facilitate or impede high school transformation.

Members of the public may watch the meeting in person at Elkhorn Crossing School, but are encouraged to watch a recording of the meeting that will be available on the KDE Media Portal. There will be no livestream.

Those with disabilities may request reasonable accommodations by noon ET on Feb. 24 by emailing Taylor Perry or calling him at (502) 892-6174 ext. 4851.
