(FRANKFORT, KY) – The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) is requesting public feedback on the newly drafted Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) for Health Education and Physical Education. These drafts were meticulously crafted by dedicated Advisory Panels and a Review Committee, consisting of experts in health education and physical fitness.
The KDE emphasizes the importance of community input in shaping these educational standards, which aim to enhance the health and wellness of students across the state. Stakeholders, including educators, parents, and community members, are encouraged to review the drafts and provide their insights, ensuring that the standards reflect the needs and values of Kentucky's diverse population.
This initiative underscores the KDE's commitment to fostering a comprehensive educational framework that prioritizes the physical and mental well-being of students. The feedback period is a crucial opportunity for the community to influence the final standards that will guide health and physical education in Kentucky schools for years to come.
