Education Continuation Task Force will meet virtually August 10

(FRANKFORT, KY) – The Kentucky Department of Education’s (KDE) Education Continuation Task Force will meet virtually on August 10

The purpose of this group is to work together on issues that arise during this unprecedented time in education as we strive to meet the educational needs of our students and teachers across the state as they endeavor to learn and teach in non-traditional ways. KDE leadership will share with task force members guidance being developed by the department. Members will look for gaps in our thinking and assist with communicating a common message throughout the K-12 education community.

LEGAL DISCLOSURE: The task force was designed to gather just-in-time feedback from individual constituents representing various sectors of Kentucky public education.  The task force will not take any action. This call will be recorded, and the recording will be shared publicly.

Pursuant to Executive Order 2020-243 and a memorandum issued by the Finance and Administration Cabinet dated March 16, 2020, and in an effort to prevent the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Education Continuation Task Force will meet utilizing a video teleconference.
