Temporary Suspension of Enrollments in the Kentucky Teachers’ National Incentive Trust Fund

On January 3, 2012, the Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB)

was requested to submit plans to adjust for a 7 – 9 % budget reduction for

FY13 and FY14. In response to the need to reduce its budget accordingly,

the EPSB approved the temporary suspension of all enrollments into the

Teachers’ National Certification Incentive Trust Fund. Should funding

become available, staff will enroll the number of candidates into the trust

fund commensurate with the amount allocated. Please contact Robert

Brown at the EPSB with further questions.

per day for two (2) days has also been suspended for the
