Equitable Access To Effective Educators

Equitable Distribution of Teachers

NCLB requires states have plans to ensure schools provide instruction by highly qualified instructional staff and to ensure that poor and minority children are not taught at higher rates than other children by inexperienced, unqualified, or out-of-field teachers.

Currently, 99.70% of all courses in Kentucky are taught by highly qualified teachers. – EPSB 2013-2014
