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.
