(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.

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.
