AN ACT relating to education.
SB 157 amends Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 156.690 to replace gendered language ("his or her") with gender-neutral terms in a program assisting certified teachers. The bill directly affects Kentucky teachers by updating the statutory language governing a Board of Education initiative that helps teachers purchase personal computers. Key provisions require the Kentucky Board of Education to secure competitive pricing for computers and arrange vendor training for participating teachers. This change updates existing program language to use inclusive terminology without altering the program's structure or requirements. The bill focuses solely on modifying statutory wording to ensure gender neutrality in official documents.
