How can individual teachers request a deletion of portions of their professional certificate?

The process for individual teachers to request the deletion of portions of their professional certificate is directed through the Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB). This board is responsible for overseeing teacher certification in Kentucky, and thus it manages the processes related to the addition, modification, or removal of credentials held by educators.

Submitting a request to the EPSB ensures that the procedure follows the established legal and regulatory frameworks governing teacher certification. The EPSB has the authority to review such requests, investigate the circumstances surrounding them, and make informed decisions based on the state’s educational standards and policies. This ensures accountability and adherence to professional expectations within the education system.

Other potential avenues for requesting deletion, such as communicating solely with a principal or submitting forms to a school board, would not engage the proper regulatory body that handles certification matters. Additionally, a petition signed by colleagues does not address the formal process required for changes to a teacher's certification status, as it lacks the authoritative backing necessary to effect such changes.
