Each board may prepare and publish for the information of the public a report
on the progress of its schools.
Each board of education shall file in the board's office its policies relating to the
following matters:
(a) Transportation of pupils;
(b) Discipline and conduct of pupils;
(c) Limitations or restrictions on use of school facilities;
(d) Conduct of meetings of the board of education, including policies on the
calling of executive sessions;
(e) Personnel policies that apply to certified employees, including fringe

reinstatement, promotion, and demotion;
(f) Evaluation of certified employees;
(g) Selection of textbooks and instructional materials;
(h) Expenditure and accounting for school funds, including all special funds;
and
(i) Policies dealing with school-based decision making.
(a) The local board of education may adopt a policy requiring that each
school council, or if none exists, the principal, make an annual report at a
public meeting of the board describing the school's progress in meeting
the educational goals set forth in KRS 158.6451 and district goals
established by the board.
(b) Biennially, the local board shall review in a public meeting the portion of
each school's consolidated plan that sets forth the activities and schedule
to reduce the achievement gaps among the various groups of students as
required in KRS 158.649. If a district has more than twenty (20) schools,
the district may review the achievement gap data of each school in a
comprehensive district report at a regularly scheduled meeting of the
board. The report shall include the schools' and district's plans to reduce
any identified gaps in student achievement.
It is intended that these policies shall cover matters within the authority and
discretion of the district board of education and not matters otherwise required
by law or regulation. Such policies shall be filed in the board's office by August
15, 1974, shall be kept up to date by filing annual amendments thereto each
August 15 and shall be public records.
