The Division of District Support provides guidance for districts, providers, and finance officers regarding the types of finance officer trainings that will be approved. The finance officer serves as the financial leader of the school district and is responsible, with the assistance of the superintendent, school councils, and other finance staff, for creating a sound financial climate that reflects the district needs and expectations.
On November 1, 2011, a new web-based Finance Officer Training Provider Proposal Form was made available for the districts and other training providers to access at the following KDE webpage link: http://www.education.ky.gov/FormServ/Default.aspx?ID=Finance_Officer_Training_Provider_Proposal_Form.
The proposal form allows training providers the convenience of submitting electroncially a training proposal request for the approval of a training agenda and/or program to be counted as finance officer training hours.
The web-based proposal form must be submitted to the Kentucky Department of Education's (KDE), Division of District Support at least thirty (30) business days prior to the first scheduled program in order to be eligible for approval. The Department cannot guarantee proposals submitted after this time will be reviewed for approval. Proposals submitted to KDE after training session has occurred will not be considered for approval.
The Finance Officer Hours List document located below is currently being updated due to several of the training sessions being obsolete. KDE will be replacing the outdated Finance Officer Hours List document with a revised list very soon. Please make a copy of the old list if desired prior to the old list being replaced with a revised list.
