Certification Testing Requirements and Teachers
Taking Incorrect Tests

• Please communicate to teachers that teacher
  certification requirements are subject to change.
  Before registering for a test or, if you must
  retake a test, please refer to the EPSB website
  at http//www.kyepsb.net/assessment/index.asp for
  current requirements. You may also contact Jaime
  Rice at 502-564-4606 or toll free at
  888-598-7667. We have had several teachers who do
  not have contact with universities taking
  incorrect tests and need help with communication.

RT Payments FY07 Future

• KTIP will overrun the allotted funds for fiscal
  year 2007 and has for the last three years.
• KTIP risks falling short of funds in future
  years.
• There has been an increase in the number of
  interns and a decrease in funding from 2003 to
  2007.
• Options on how to stay within the KTIP allotment
  is being considered by EPSB.
• Every provision possible is being made to ensure
  reducing RT payments is a last resort.
• In the event that reduction in RT payments
  becomes necessary, it would not be in effect
  until fiscal year 2008.
• All RTs who served on intern committees for the
  2006-2007 school year received the full 1,400.
• EPSB plans to ensure reductions in resource
  teacher payments remains a last resort by
  continuing to seek addition funding for KTIP
  through the Education Cabinet, GOPM, the
  Legislative Agenda, and other sources of funding,
  such as the Federal Perkins Grant funds that are
  being received for FY07 and FY08.
• EPSB requested an additional 1.5 million in the
  2006 biennial budget and was denied.
