On Tuesday, members of the Kentucky Teachers Advisory Council (TAC) met via zoom and laid out the guidelines for classes to resume.

A prevalent set of guidelines was seen throughout the presentations focusing on social distancing, masks, handwashing and still getting kids a quality in-class experience.

Although plans can change, one thing is for certain; Students and teachers will be reunited again in a matter of weeks, hopefully in person.

Tuesday, representatives put those guidelines to more specific areas like transportation, food services, and in-class instructions.

Commissioner Kevin Brown did say that some school districts can look to start the year with NTI learning or a hybrid of NTI and in-person classes. School districts should discuss that with their local health department.

The TAC is comprised of approximately twenty (20) teacher leaders from across the Commonwealth who contribute crucial, diverse perspectives on education. The TAC members should have instructional expertise in various disciplines, grade bands, and areas of specialization that represent Kentucky’s varied student population. Teachers are selected and appointed to the TAC for 3-year terms and attend 3-4 face-to-face meetings in Frankfort each school year.
